When I'm six feet down
and I'm no use anymore,
when I'm under the ground,
tell me it's just like before.

Back when I slept alright,
in between the dreams
none the wiser through the night,
but now,
I'm dressed up with no place to go.
Back when I wasn't here,
just imagine what it's like
when I'm not aware,
but really what I'd like to know...
but really what I'd like to know....
but really what I'd like to know is...

What if I'm wrong?
What if it's a long time after I'm done?
After I'm done?
What if I'm wrong?
What if it's a long time after I'm done?
After I'm done?

If I'm dying alone
then at least Id like to stay calm,
when I'm trying to hope
maybe it won't be so bad when I'm gone.

Back when I slept alright
in between the dreams
none the wiser through the night,
but now,
I'm dressed up with no place to go.
Back when I wasn't here
just imagine what it's like
when I'm not aware,
but really what I'd like to know... 
but really what I'd like to know.... 
but really what I'd like to know is...

What if I'm wrong? 
What if it's a long time after I'm done? 
After I'm done? 
What if I'm wrong? 
What if it's a long time after I'm done? 
After I'm done?

If you're still listening,
let me know what I'm missing.
If you won't release me,
at least just meet me.

 I can't stop thinking about the drop
where my vision would end
and the image of darkness begins.
There were so many different ways
the drift of perpetual waves
could teach me to number my days.
But now what I'd give to believe
that an end is the only reprieve
if you just  make it stop.
But the tide just keeps taunting
and taunting
and taunting me.
Cause I'm not quite sure it's
alright that
I'm uptight
if I leave tonight.
The more I try to tell myself
it's fine when I know
forever is a long, long time.
I'd really like to know if
the place I go is OK,
or if I just go away.
Time
is on my mind.
And what it's like
on the other side.
You'll be the only one who's there when I find
what's beyond this life
and every mystery in it.
Even if I cover my eyes,
what if after death I'm not done dying?

If you're still listening, 
let me know what I'm missing. 
If you won't release me, 
at least just meet me.
At least just meet me.

I'm afraid to age forever, but I'm afraid to...
