lyrics
[Verse]
When I die
Scatter my ashes
But not too close to the sea
‘Cause I can’t swim
When I die
Mail all my postcards
‘Cause there’s no address to return to
Anymore anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
And if the world hasn’t burned by then
If the sky’s still blue
[Chorus]
I will always wake
For the sunrise
Even though I’m s’pposed to sleep
For forever
And I will always wait
For the encore
Even though I’m s’pposed to
Go home
[Verse]
When I die
Bury my ashes
So I can grow into a tree
Maybe a redwood
When I die
Leave me a notebook
So I can write when I’m sad
Or feel a heart full of love
When I die
Buy me a house in the clouds
With extra rooms and a bar
For when my friends all arrive
When I die
Sell my piano
To someone else’s little kid
So they can learn Rachmaninoff
[Pre-Chorus]
And if the world hasn’t burned by then
If the sky’s still blue
[Chorus]
I will always wake
For the sunrise
Even though I’m s’pposed to sleep
For forever
And I will always wait
For the encore
Even though I’m s’pposed to
Go home
[Bridge]
Do we finally get signal from inside the subway?
Do we ever get tired of long summer nights?
Are they done building buildings at ungodly hours?
And when I return will you greet me with flowers?
[Chorus]
And I will always wake
For the sunrise
Even though I’m s’pposed to sleep
For forever
And I will always wait
For the encore
Even though I’m s’pposed to
Go home
