Description
I've never felt quite so close to death
And I've never swam so far from them
But then again, what can be done?
Life's too short and my story's too long
Even though we know it's just begun
I could light a candle
'Cause you've already won
But, what good would it do?

I went to the porch to have a smoke
And mercy me, I coulda sworn I saw my ghost
But what's done is done
I've learned to stop looking at the past
Regrets have killed my fun
Procrastination's a son of a gun
But life's too short to care
No one said it's gonna be fair

Well, I'm glad to see everyone's doin' alright
It's been a while,
Inconvenience, despite
I could say I'm glad you're happy
But I don't wanna lie
Things are tight
But we stay warm at night
The blanket smolders
And I feel older
But all and all it could be worse
All of the time

I've never felt quite so close to death
And I've never swam so far from them
But then again, what can be done?
Life's too short and my story's too long
Even though we know it's just begun
I could light candle
'Cause you've already won
But, what good would it do?

Some nights I dream of what could have been
Tar-and-feather'd for all I've done
The cabin's pressured a little too tight
And the flight's a bit too long
As the story goes
I thank God for little miracles
And hold out hope for all my woes
And pray that something's done

Well, I could think for hours
But not on what matters
And that is now
Oh, I could sink for hours
And say I mattered
But in the end you'll just ask how
I wish I had two more days
Just to write a book and ask for a raise
Before I'm gone

I've never felt quite so close to death
And I've never swam so far from them
But then again, what can be done?
Life's too short and my story's too long
Even though we know it's just begun
I could light a candle
'Cause you've already won
But, what good would it do?
