"When I Die" lyrics

"When I Die"

I was talking to myself
Wondering how I was going to die
Will I see the outside?
And would I realize?

Will you take me to the movies if I can't run?
Will you see me make mistakes I never used to?

I was walking in а field
Waiting to be near
I was reaching for daylight
A memory I was supposed to be

Yeah, I want to remember
And I want to do so much more
Yeah, I want to be much better
And I want to do so much more

I was talking in my sleep
Every secret that I keep
Can't say what's on my mind right now
Can't save me like an old sweater

Yеah, I want to remember
And I want to do so much morе
Yeah, I want to be much better
And I want to do so much more
