And Then You're Dead

At 2:15, the moon glistening
On the rocks as we stand there
And with cold, clenched fists I say, This is happiness.
Run fingers through her hair

When youre just 21 all the funs just begun
The ends nowhere in sight
As I turned to the left, misplaced my step
Crashed down into the afterlife

Just reach me there
Just leave me higher

4:25 and Im still alive
Sweating in my bed
A sigh of relief feeling cold, wet sheets
Guess the milk went to my head

Shuffle along; itll soon be dawn
Guess Ill just watch some news
They say, At 2:15, kid fell in the ravine
No, Godit cant be true

Just reach me there
Just lead me higher

Its not cold enough to realize that we have all gone numb
And its not warm enough to see how close to hell weve come
This lifes long enough we dont really need to look up ahead
And this lifes short enough that youve just began
And then youre dead.
