I sit up high upon the hilltops holding hands with death.
I'm playing make-believe with the time that I have left.
Cause I haven't felt so far for a long time & what I'd give to fall right back into your heart.
I could be better, I could try harder than I've ever tried before.
I could just face it, I could replace these thoughts with something I want more.
How would you feel if your world ended tomorrow?
There's so much bloodshed on the skyline. Paint the whole town red.
I'm playing reruns in my head that don't make sense.
Cause you've made me feel so high for the first time & what I'd give to fall right back into your arms.
I could be better, I could try harder than I've ever tried before.
I could just face it, I could replace these thoughts with something I want more.
How would you feel if your world ended tomorrow?
So now that it's over I'll say goodbye.
We always knew it would be our time.
Cause I don't know if you can hear me?
