Lyrics
There is a man on the corner who spoke
to me about how i was too young to smoke
he said " Kid you'll end up dead if you don't get this idea from your head that you're young and invincible or you will wind up intangible."
So I left
So I've enclosed a letter on what to do with my body if I don't get better.
I want to be buried with my composure, not burned away or tossed in the ocean.
And I'll ask you to put in my grave, every memory that I've ever made.
So I will pass, but I'll have a good laugh by myself while I wait.
And there will be people standing around my plot saying "Oh God, I miss him a lot. He was so young it is such a shame" but they barely even knew my name. I just want them to go away and leave me be
So i'll buy a house somewhere on the Gold Coast. A mansion with so many rooms, once filled with so many ghosts, now vacant, alone, and empty. I will live somewhere that I blend in, away from all of the people is where I'll fit.
Because I'm an aching heart, absent of love and I'm an empty house where a family once was. I'm no good to anyone the way I am.
except for a girl that I used to know, we used to keep each other warm when it snowed. She never wanted to go home just to see what her Dad had done to her Mom And I always used to say " If the sun burned out, ever went away, I'd still have eight long minutes to see your face and I'd make..I'd make the most of it."
So at the end of the night, I will stare at the sky. Looking at the stars who's light hasn't been real for years. It's all just in your mind, like having a happy life, the illusion will fade, it will all just go away.Can someone please just take this weight away from me.
