If you're dying

If everyday's the first day of the rest of your life
why wouldn't you want to know if you're dying?
wouldn't you want to know that you're days are limited?
wouldn't you want to see it coming?

I won't wake you if you're dreaming of angels on the moon
dreams are better than reality
and I'll tell you my name and I'll care about all the little things

I would tell you if you were dying
so you could care about all the little things too
learn my name real quick cause I'm only gonna tell you once
and people will know my name

Everyday is the first of the rest of your life
but you'd need to know that the end is coming
you'd need time to prepare, to live life till your dying breath
not wondering "am I dying? or will I wake up again?"
keep dreaming about angels on the moon
but I will tell you if you're dying

I couldn't live knowing that I'd kept that from you
let you keep a secret inside saying, I'll tell them tomorrow
let you reserve your love when you should give out all you've got

I'll let you dream if you're dreaming about angels on the moon
but I'll tell you if you're dying even if you just don't want to know
