Good Grief

Death is in the doorway
With flowers and champagne
And I'm just on the other side
Impatiently waiting
Flirting with disaster
I'm always tempting fate
Every time I cut it close
I hope he knows I'm only teasing

'Cause I wanna make my life
Worth the grief
We leave behind
So I'll just take my time
Stop and smell the roses
Once in a while
Death is patient
Life is long, until it's not
But I just hope that you'll remember my songs
The day that I'm gone

Destiny is calling
Leave your message at the beep
But I don't wanna spend my energy thinking about those kinda things
I'm just too busy doing nothing
With all the nothing I've been dealt
Maybe I just wanna take it easy

'Cause I wanna make my life
Worth the grief
We leave behind
So I'll just take my time
Stop and smell the roses
Once in a while
Death is patient
Life is long, until it's not
But I just hope that you'll remember my songs
The day that I'm gone

I know it might not be long now
Let's make the most
Of whatever we've got left
I'll try to leave, the best version of me
Living on in your memories

'Cause I wanna make my life
Worth the grief
We leave behind
So I'll just take my time
Stop and smell the roses
Once in a while
Death is patient
Life is long, until it's not
But I just hope that you'll remember my songs
The day that I'm gone
