And if my body’s ticking down
Into the gravity now
Can we slow dance till my bones can’t take it
Across the miles
Before the sickness, I knew dying
First mind, then body follows suit
Will you read the books I’m writing
To come home to you
What if I don’t know when I am dying
And it comes on too quick to
Tell you I was always trying
To come home to you
Can’t be too late to
And if my body’s ticking down
Into the gravity now
Can we slow dance till my bones can’t take it
Across the miles and the sound
And I know you don’t know
And you know I don’t know, too
In the pages I wrote
In the only way I knew
To come home to you
And if my body’s like that
What if my body’s like that
My paper and my ink
Fingers and my screen
Someone call me out
On this dumb badge shining
Paper and my ink
Fingers and my screen
Someone call me out
On this dumb badge shining
Paper and my ink
Fingers and my screen
Someone call me out
On this dumb badge shining
Paper and my ink
Fingers and my screen
A first place masochistic
For first world nonsense
You’re gonna die with this
Are you gonna die with this
And if my body’s ticking down
Into the gravity now
Can we slow dance till my bones can’t take it
Across the miles and the sound
And if my body’s ticking down
Into the gravity now
Can we slow dance till my bones can’t take it
Across the miles and the sound
And I know you don’t know
And you know I don’t know, too
In the pages I wrote
In the only way I knew
To come home to you
And if my body’s like that
I didn’t mean to hold back
I'm only human like that
