[Verse 1]
She said "I'm afraid of being a failure
Of kicking it before I see Australia
Of living for the number on the scale
And never taste a real champagne"
He said, "I'm afraid of being my father
That the best of me is back at my alma mater"
He said, he'd found your love but then he lost it
And it haunts him everyday

[Pre-Chorus]
Got me thinking lately of the person I'll be
I don't wanna let him down

[Chorus]
When I die will I be proud
Of who I was above the ground?
Will I really rest in peace when I go out?
Or will I want a second chance
To fill that glass back up with sand
For one more try?
Oh, when I die

[Verse 2]
Still don't have a song out on the airwaves
And i still haven't jumped out of an airplane
The days are passing way too fast out there
Life's ain't that fair
Doc told me to live more in the moment
Don't waste all of your best years unopened (Unopened)
'Cause if you ever get to where you're going
You won't feel like you're there
[Chorus]
When I die will I be proud
Of who I was above the ground?
Will I really rest in peace when I go out?
Or will I want a second chance
To fill that glass back up with sand
For one more try?
Oh, when I die

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, when I die, when I die
Oh, when I die, when I die

[Outro]
When I die and leave this earth
Will I leave more than just some dirt?
Leave a life I know I lived
For all it’s worth?
Or will I want a second chance
To fill that glass back up with sand
For one more try?
Oh, when I die
