When I Die Lyrics

She said I'm afraid of being a failure

Of kickin' it before I see Australia

Of livin' for the number on the scale

And never tasting real champagne

He said I'm afraid to be my father

That the best of me's back at my Alma Mater

He said he found true love but then he lost her

And it haunts him every day

Got me thinking lately

Of the person I'll be

I don't wanna let him down

When I die will I be proud

Of who I was above the ground

Will I really rest in peace

When I go out

Or will I want a second chance

To fill that glass back up with sand

For one more try

Oh when I die

Still don't have a song out on the airwaves

And I still haven't jumped out of an airplane

The days are passing way too fast how dare they

Life just ain't that fair

Doc told me to live more in the moment

Don't waste all of your best years on hoping

Cuz if you ever get to ever to where you're going

You won't feel like you're there

When I die will I be proud

Of who I was above the ground

Will I really rest in peace

When I go out

Or will I want a second chance

To fill that glass back up with sand

For one more try

Oh when I die

Oh when I die

When I die

Oh when I die

Oh when I die

When I die and leave this earth

Will I leave more than just some dirt

Leave a life I know I lived

For all it's worth

Or will I want a second chance

To fill that glass back up with sand

For one more try

Oh when I die
