I woke up today and asked myself what would be the things to say
if I had to go now and there would be no way
if I couldn't come back
if I could not come back anymore
What would I feel bad about
what things I'd confess aloud
maybe the times I was a douche
what would be the words I'd use
before it's time to go
before it is my time to go
Well I guess I would thank you all
gathered around in yellow fall
thank you for being there
anyone have a smoke to spare?
I bet they don't serve these where I'm going
I was always tired of sitting by the sea
waiting for some boat to come and make me feel free
to take away some parts of my past
Well at least I did try
but I was just another guy
Who laughed and cried and sang a bit
now it's time to stop this shit
Pray for me
Pray for all the same things I did
Sometimes on my own
I would let myself go
Walked right in to a mystery
felt my body getting all blistery
Oh take this poison away from my veins
I was always tired of sitting by the sea
waiting for some boat to come and make me feel free
to take away some parts of my past
Don't forget to write
and don't forget to ask
your mom and dad are here
and you wish that this could last
give them a call before it's too late
and I guess to all the girls I'd say
thanks for the good times
I wish you could come with me
I could use a couple of angels by my side
I hope they're half as good to me as you have been
The final thing I'd ask
is for you to take my mask
come here to sit with me
oh I've never felt so free!
