I Don't Want to Die
A guy I went to school with got hit by a car yesterday
We werent even friends but it still hit me in the same way
And it had me thinking if that night Id walked the same street
It couldve been me, that couldve been me
And at two AM, his parents get a call from the cops
'Cause of death was a drunk driver, were sorry for your loss'
Cant imagine what it must be like to bury the kid
Youre gonna outlive, youre gonna outlive
You just never know when youre gonna go
Im scared that my time will come
And theyll say I was too young
Now I lay in bed, all up in my head
Thinking about leaving this world behind
I dont want to die
And be a body ten feet under the ground
Everyone I love gets used to me not being around
Life is finally getting good, I know one day that itll end
But dont take me yet, please dont take me yet
You just never know when youre gonna go
Im scared that my time will come
And therell be so much that I still havent done
Now I lay in bed, all up in my head
Thinking about not getting to say goodbye
I dont want to die
I dont, I dont
I dont, I dont, I dont want to die
I dont, I dont
I dont, I dont, I dont want to die
I dont, I dont (I dont want to)
I dont, I dont, I dont want to die
I dont, I dont (I dont want to)
I dont, I dont, Idont want to die
I dont, I dont (I dont want to)
I dont, I dont, I dont want to die
I dont, I dont (I dont want to)
I dont, I dont, I dont want to die
I dont, I dont (I dont want to)
I dont, I dont, I dont want to die
I dont, I dont (I dont want to)
I dont, I dont, I dont want to—
I turned on the news this morning and I looked at his face
Guess I never really thought someone could die at our age
So I call my family, all the friends that I havent seen
That couldve been me, that couldve been me
