Before My Friends Do

Before My Friends Do

Atom And His Package
(album: Redefining Music)

I think I hope I die before my friends do
Because the alternative makes my stomach hurt sometimes
When I say "friends" I mean family I like too
The second tear friends I could horribly get through

Now my life has shame (on me now)
This is not nostalgia, this is not the past
And if it´s gonna end external like a stupid car crash
Regardless of my body, regardless of my weight
Wouldn´t it be nice if I could say
"I won´t change and you won´t change, if we could both agree to stay the same
Well then for once in this life I would not complain, if we could both agree to stay the same"

Let me tell you about this crazy list
The best relative order of the people I know´s deaths
According to partners, handlings, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, yeah
So let´s be safe because it´s on me
I have spacesuits for you and a spacesuit for me
Spacesuits for everyone, spacesuits for everyone
Spacesuits for everyone, spacesuits for everyone

This is not nostalgia, this is not the past
And if it´s gonna end external like a stupid car crash
Regardless of my body, regardless of my weight
Wouldn´t it be stupid if I were to say
"I won´t change and you won´t change, and we could both agree to stay the same
Well then for once in this life I would not complain, if we could both agree to stay the same"

I hope I die before my friends do
