Caskets

If I don't wake tomorrow morning
Empty shoes on the side of the hall
And if my number, it stops calling
Picture frames hanging up by the door
You try to reach right in
And hold on to the little things
But they slip away
But it's okay

'Cause I had a hell of a time
Know that I had the time of my life
So remember me and smile
All of the souls heading back home down a one-way road
So it goes
Until the caskets close

And if you get that sinking feeling
Thinking about the time we shared
I hope it helps you with your healing
Knowing that I wasn't scared
I savored everything
I pressed the world up against my skin
I was lucky, I guess
I always found the beauty in the mess

You gotta hold on to the little things
But you gotta let go just a little bit
When another one goes one will find their wings
Then they'll find their way home, little take and give
Into the unknown and the changing tides
The Sun sets low on an endless sky
So much we don't know, I don't know why
But I'll be fine

'Cause I had a hell of a time
Know that I had the time of my life
So remember me and smile
All of the souls heading back home down a one-way road
So it goes
Until the caskets close

Raise the toast as the curtains close
And the sunset fades to black
So the story goes, we all walk with ghosts
No one-way tickets back
The casualties of our memories
That slip right through the cracks
All the inside jokes and the times we spoke
Will stay frozen in the past

You gotta hold on to the little things
But you gotta let go just a little bit
I guess we'll never know what tomorrow brings
But just know you're not alone in the thick of it
I know it feels cold when the caskets close
Stories untold on a headstone
For those who grow old it'll fly by
In the blink of an eye

So we'll have a hell of a time
Know that we'll have the time of our lives
So remember us and smile
All of the souls heading back home down a one-way road
So it goes
Until the caskets close

We'll have a hell of a time
Know that we'll have the time of our lives
So remember us and smile
All of the souls heading back home down a one-way road
So it goes
Until the caskets close
