if we don’t die today

if we don’t die today
tell me it will be okay
that we can still be near

if we don’t die tonight
tell me it will be alright
if i never hear
every word i fear

if we don’t die today
lie to me anyway

i move too slow
to ask you to stay
but i know you will go
if we don’t die today

if you don’t need the past
i will bury it if you ask
every day i’ve seen

if you don’t need the truth
i promise to destroy the proof
all you would ever need
or would never believe

if we don’t die today
all the words i could never say
words i could scream for years
til the echo ever comes
til it finds your ears

if we don’t die today
lie to me anyway

i move too slow
to ask you to stay
but i know you will go
if we don’t die today
