Die Young
Gods Paparazzi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna die young
I wanna die young
I wanna be hung
I'm a lonely one

Holding my pillow tight
Keeping my thoughts inside
Watching the years go by
How long until I die?

Kill me quickly
Kill me quickly

I wanna die young
I wanna die young
I wanna become one
With the burning sun

Sliding right into you
Searching for absolutes
Hoping for something new
How long until I'm through?

Kill me quickly
Kill me quickly

Kill me quickly
Kill me quickly





I wanna die young
I'm gonna die young
