I don't wanna live 'til I'm 94
And forget everything I once stood for
I don't wanna live my glory days
Just to have them all melt away
I don't wanna live 'til I'm 78
And see a tricentennial that I don't wanna celebrate
Don't wanna drink on the 4th of July
I pray before then that I keel over and die
I wanna stay in this moment, you and me
Wanna keep my eyes open
I'm gonna hold onto this history
And keep my eyes open
I don't wanna live 'til I'm 55
And get in the way of those who are still alive
Don't wanna meet my grandbabies
I'll just stay inside and pray The Lord takes me
I don't wanna live 'til I'm 39
Just sitting around, wasting all my time
I don't wanna worry about my health
I'd rather focus on literally anything else
I wanna stay in this moment, you and me
Wanna keep my eyes open
I'm gonna hold onto this history
And keep my eyes open
I know I'm being naïve
But it's hard to believe
That there's a life for me
In this goddamn awful century
But I'll concede
That I still believe
In this moment
You and me
I just wanna live 'til I'm 24
While I still remember what I stand for
I just have to figure out a way
To fix the world's problems in the next couple of days
And then I'll stay in this moment, you and me
Got to keep my eyes open
If I'm gonna make some better history
Got to keep my eyes open
