Song Description
Considering all the things/people you will miss when you are no longer around. Spiritually it explores the concept that when life is good, it's hard to believe anything could be better than being alive.
So, even if you believe in life after death and are a person of faith, there is still a doubt that anything could be better. Whatever your vision of heaven is, the uncertainty would make anyone reluctant to go, assuming they feel their life is enjoyable.

Lyrics
Before my last breath
I don't want to be alone
Gonna miss the stars above
And the scent of the ocean
And the simple fun
I had by your side
The silent calm
Between your heart and mine
Because we're happy
Just as we are
Living free
I never want to leave
We're a small part of
This place in history
Oh how the time comes
And goes quickly
Mystery Temple
Built by the hands of god
All I pray for
Is that you save our love
Awake in the morning
My heart beats again
I savor the moments
We lay here in bed
Because I know life could end
Just as soon as begin
And these thoughts
Keep spinning in my head
Life is short
Gotta do what I gotta do
Gotta see what I came to see
And save myself
In this world I know
It's so hard to conceive
It's so hard to believe
But we've gotta believe
There's a place called heaven
