[Verse 1]
I had it all planned out before you met me
Was gonna leave early, so swiftly
Maybe in a fire or crash off a ravine
People would weep, "How tragic, so early"

[Chorus]
I was gonna die young
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
Now I gotta wait for you, honey

[Verse 2]
I was a firecracker baby with something to prove
Now I gotta contend with the living blues
I could've missed it, I never knew
Chain reaction but you're holding the fuse

[Chorus]
I was gonna die young
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
Dance break

[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
Oh, I don't mind
I got the fire
Electric light
So high, so wild
It's not like I chose
Not like I tried
But now I gotta wait around
And watch you burn so bright
I was gonna die

[Refrain]
I had it all planned out before you met me
I had a plan, you ruined it completely
Had it all planned out before you met me
I had a plan, you ruined it completely

[Chorus]
I was gonna die young
(I had it all planned out before you met me)
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
(I had it all planned out before you met me)
Now I gotta wait for you, honey
(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)
I was gonna die, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-young
(I had it all planned out before you met me)
I was gonna, I was gonna, I was gonna die young
(I had a plan, you ruined it completely) Oh, oh, oh
(I had it all planned out before you met me) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I had it all planned out before you met me (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I had a plan, you ruined it completely (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I had it all planned out before you met me (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I had a plan, you ruined it completely
