Wrap me in linen and show me to my tomb
Fashioned from sheets we've shared and things I've yet to prove
And the glue is the hope that any promise I've spoke
To my seed or myself or any person of note
Would be made good while I've still got the time

It's not as depressing as it sounds
Just want to be prepared
I'm in no rush to end it
But look at it from my perspective

I've messed with confidence and never understood
If you're not afraid then you're not doing all you could
And I know that there's love because I've seen it myself
And I'll be damned if I don't move because I'm scared to cross the road
I've never felt so much like I'd arrived

It's not as depressing as it sounds
Just want to be prepared
I'm in no rush to end it
But look at it from my perspective
We want a happy home
We want to die with friends
We want to smile in life
Let's smile in the end

And I've been hoping for clearer vision and open eyes
I want to stop wasting all my time keeping score
And stop existing for hopeless wishing and asking for
What I don't have when I've got so much that I just ignore

It's not as depressing as it sounds
Just want to be prepared
I'm in no rush to end it
But look at it from my perspective
We want a happy home
We want to die with friends
We want to smile in life
Let's smile in the end

It's not as depressing as it sounds
It's not as depressing as it sounds
