[Verse 1]
"Life is so much shorter than I remember
When I was younger"
You said as you held my hand
With eyes like embers where once blazed a fire
"Is this the end because I don't wanna die tonight"

[Chorus]
"Grab life by the balls, boy, and live it
Because before you know it
You'll be lying right here
Like ember, eyes like embers
Eyes like embers, and eyes like, eyes like"

[Verse 2]
"Life is so much shorter than I remember
When I was younger"
You said as you held my hand
With eyes like embers where once blazed a fire
You died that night

[Chorus]
So I'll grab life by the balls, boy, and live it
Because before I know it
I'll be lying right there
Like ember, eyes like embers
Eyes like embers, and eyes like, eyes like
[Verse 3]
And life is so much shorter than I remember
When I was younger
Can't believe that we made it this far (far)
And all you taught me will live on in stories
That I scream to strangers in bars

You're the last of the best
In the art of honest conversation
I swear I'll build you something beautiful
My future's uncertain but you're truth is my truth
I'll rip back the curtains and drink in the sun

[Chorus]
I'll grab life by the balls, boy, and live it
Because before I know it
I'll be lying right there
Like ember, eyes like embers
Eyes like embers, and eyes like, eyes like

[Verse 4]
I didn't know what to where to your funeral
And ended up looking like a new Romantic
And though I'd never let it show
But I felt less than comfortable
On the wooden pew avoiding sideways glances
[Outro]
"Life is so much shorter than I remember
When I was younger"
You said as you held my hand
With eyes like embers where once blazed a fire
"Is this the end because I don't wanna die tonight""
