[Verse 1]
When you're a ghost, when you're a ghost
They'll sit around and talk about how they liked you the most
When you're a dream, when you're a dream
I'll wake up to warm sun-rays that make me want to scream

[Chorus]
I wanna let you know while you're alive
Because everybody loves you when you die
But when it matters, they're not there, not there

[Verse 2]
When love is dead, when love is dead
We'll remember gentle nudges keeping us in bed
Or laughing at funerals, queasy at carnivals
Listening to heartbeats slowing down as we keep growing old

[Chorus]
I wanna let you know while you're alive
Because everybody loves you when you die
But when it matters, they're not there, not there
I gotta let you know while you're alive
Cause I'll be a disaster when you die
Chubby body, no hair, don't care

[Outro]
And it's not like the love that they showed us on T.V
It's a home that can burn
It's a limb to freeze
It's worry, love is worry
