Do Me Next

What if I
I never got to live the dream
I peaked when I was sixteen
And never really had it?

What if I
Never got to fill my father's shoes
My birthmarks turn from skin to bruise
And I can't fake it?

I somersaulted when I was born
I tripped when I hit the ground running
I never put up a fight
My sun was an incandescent light
And I never did make it home

What if I
I flew so close up to the sun
Enough to feel its warmth
But still need my jacket?

What if I?
Never got to be a shooting star
Would it hurt to stay the same
And never be on fire?

Is tried and failed
Really better than not trying at all?
When the world's so big
And we feel so small

When you hold me
I get so warm inside
When we go
At least we'll both be gone at the same time

When you hold me
I get so warm inside
When we go
At least we'll both be gone at the same time
