[Intro]
Maybe we'll get 40 years together
(one day'll I'll be gone)
One day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone

[Verse 1]
It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you've protected for so long
The mercy in you senses right or wrong
It's not your hand searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you've talked me off the roof
You're questions like dirеctions to the truth

[Chorus]
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likеly one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get 40 years together
One day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone

[Verse 2]
If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
Laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
I'll work hard till the end of my shift
I'll give you every second I can find
Hoping it is me that's left behind
[Chorus]
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get 40 years together
One day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone

[Chorus]
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get 40 years together
One day I'll be gone (one day I'll be gone)
One day you'll be gone

[Outro]
One day you'll be gone
