I always thought I'd die young that's just the way I'd go Driving to fast on an off ramp and losing my control As the radio plays and my heart runs out I'd see the reaper coming my way before he takes me down Maybe it's depression or just a coming of age But I'm still picking up these years all the while losing my faith I've held on too long without letting go But you too were once a feeling I thought I'd never know Couldn't believe the preacher when he had something to say I'd read the book too many times to see it all his way So as my ears bleed out I'll take a twenty from the plate What's one ten thousandths of his check gonna hurt him anyways Maybe it's oppression or sweet disarray But I'm still sending my best wishes While you're just spitting in my face Everywhere I go I never feel quite at home But you too were once a feeling I thought I'd never know As I lay in bed and count your breaths And every fear I've ever had is stabbing at my chest I look into those amber eyes and the river starts to flow Cause you too were once a feeling I thought I'd never know Oh you too were once a feeling I thought I'd never know
