I Hope You Die
Molly Nilsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're the abstract art in my modern museum
And baby sometimes we fall apart
But the ruins of my heart stands like a coliseum
I hope you die by my side
The two of us at the exact same time
I hope we die not long from now
But baby it's all beyond control
But baby you can have my soul
I hope you die by my side
Baby it's all ages away
But I can't help but think of the day
I hope we die at the exact same time
Baby your love is bigger than a football field
I'm the hooligan of your heart
Sometimes we win but sometimes we lose our dreams
But I always wear the colours of your team
I hope you die by my side
The two of us at the exact same time
I hope we die not long from now
The two of us at the exact same time
Baby you're the coolest moon when the night's begun
And I'm a goth in the sun
And we can sleep through the summer days
I know you think I'm morbid when I say
I hope you die by my side
The two of us at the exact same time
I hope we die not long from now
The two of us at the exact same time
Baby I hope you die right by my side
Baby I hope we die at the exact same time
Baby I hope we die at the exact same time

And I'm a goth in the sun
I am different and unconventional
And we can sleep through the summer days
We can be lazy and relaxed together
I know you think I'm morbid when I say
You might find it strange, but I mean it when I say
Baby I hope you die right by my side
I want us to be together until the end
Baby I hope we die at the exact same time
I hope we pass away at the same moment
Baby I hope we die at the exact same time
I hope we pass away at the same moment

Baby, sometimes I don't understand you
But you're the abstract art in my modern museum
And baby, sometimes we fall apart
But the ruins of my heart stands like the Colosseum
I hope you die by my side
The two of us at the exact same time
I hope we die not long from now
The two of us at the exact same time
Maybe it's all beyond control
But baby, you can have my soul
I hope you die by my side
Maybe it's all ages away
But I can't help but think of the day
I hope we die at the exact same time
Baby, your love is bigger than a football field
I'm the hooligan of your heart
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose our dreams
But I always wear the colors of your team
Maybe it's all beyond control
But baby, you can have my soul
I hope you die by my side
Maybe it's all ages away
But I can't help but think of the day
I hope we die at the exact same time
Baby, you're the coolest moon when the night's begun
And I'm a goth in the sun
And we can sleep through the summer days
I know you think I'm morbid when I say
I hope you die by my side
The two of us at the exact same time
Maybe it's all beyond control
But baby, you can have my soul
I hope you die by my side
Maybe it's all ages away
But I can't help but think of the day
I hope we die at the exact same time
Baby, I hope we die at the exact same time
Baby, I hope we die at the exact same time
