I Can’t Die Today

I Can’t Die Today

I gave up knotting ties underneath my collar

And said farewell to the six figure dollar

I gave title and fortune all that power

To face my own sadness with my morning shower

Too embarrassed to be happy or too dumb to see

The real measure of success: the girl riding with me

They said, don’t do it boy, don’t walk away

Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play

I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way

All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today

Never hit my stride in those shiny black shoes

Always teaching others, never finding a clue

Green with envy; my color of choice

Focused on the history instead of finding a voice

Numb from all the anger and unable to feel

A love growing inside that was finally real

They said, don’t do it boy, don’t walk away

Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play

I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way

All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today

A part of me was dying

The part you might say is my soul

Dreams of rebuilding me bit by bit

With passion taking control

The house we bought is bigger than the one in our dreams

We have all that we need with only half of the means

Gone is the desire to always compare

Time’s the only currency and I have plenty to share

The love that we grew was nurtured inside

Two became four and it’s a hell of a ride

But they said… don’t do it boy, don’t walk away

Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play

I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way

All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today

They said, don’t do it boy, don’t walk away

Life ain’t a game and you can’t just play

I’m walking out, yeah, I’m leaving this way

All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today All I want’s tomorrow, so I can’t die today All I want’s tomorrow, nothing’s left in the way
