I was at a funeral the day I realized
I wanted to spend my life with you.
Sitting down on the steps at the old post office,
The flag was flying at half-mast.And I was thinkin’ ’bout how everyone is dying,
And maybe it’s time to live.I don’t know where we’re going.
I don’t know what we’ll do.Walked into the Thriftee. Saw a man with the hollow eyes Who didn’t give me all my change. But it didn’t bother me this time Cause I know I’ve only got this moment,
And it’s good.I went to the gas station; Old woman honked her horn,
Waiting for me to fix her car.I don’t know where we’re going.
I don’t know what we’ll do.Laying in bed tonight I was thinking And listening to all the dogs,
And the sirens, and the shots,And how a careful man tries to dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk.And maybe it’s time to live.
