We don't die
Carlos St. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I could be holding you
To my side somebody stop this joyless joy ride
I'm feeling older than my thirty-five years
One more cryptic message
Thinking that I might end it
Oh god, you must have woken up
I'll take it easy with the morbid stuff
Oh, honey I'm worried 'bout you
You're too much to lose
You're all that I have
And, honey I'm worried 'bout you
Put yourself in my shoes
You're all that I have so please don't die
Wherever you are tonight
All these pointless benders
With reptilian strangers
Oh my god you're so naive
You leave this world in a drunken heap
Who'll make the arrangements, baby, them or me?
Oh, honey I'm worried 'bout you
You're too much to lose
You're all that I have
And, honey I'm worried 'bout you
Put yourself in my shoes
You're all that I have
You're all that I have
You're all that I have
So please don't die
Wherever you are tonight

One more wasted morning
Another day of my life wasted without you by my side
When I could be holding you
Instead of wasting time, I could be with you
To my side somebody stop this joyless joy ride
I want to get off this meaningless roller coaster of life
I'm feeling older than my thirty-five years
My experiences have aged me beyond my physical years
One more cryptic message
Another hint that I might be ready to give up
Thinking that I might end it
Considering the possibility of ending my life
Oh god, you must have woken up
Realizing the impact my words have on loved ones
To me saying that it's all too much
Expressing that life is overwhelming and unbearable
I'll take it easy with the morbid stuff
I'll try to stop talking about death and suicide
Oh, honey I'm worried 'bout you
Expressing concern for your well-being
You're too much to lose
You are valuable and irreplaceable to me
You're all that I have
You are my everything
Put yourself in my shoes
Consider how I feel and what I'm going through
All these pointless benders
Drinking to excess with people I don't care about
With reptilian strangers
Being in the company of shady and untrustworthy people
Oh my god you're so naive
Realizing that I am foolish and inexperienced
You leave this world in a drunken heap
Risking my life and well-being by engaging in reckless behavior
Who'll make the arrangements, baby, them or me?
Wondering who will be responsible for my funeral if I die
You're all that I have so please don't die
I need you and can't bear the thought of losing you
Wherever you are tonight
Regardless of where you are, know that I am thinking of you and worrying about you
