...While You're Alive
Jeff Rosenstock
When you're a ghost
They'll sit around and talk about how they liked you the most
When you're a dream, I'll wake up to warm sun-rays that make me want to scream
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
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, yeah
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
It's not like the love that they showed us on TV
It's a home that can burn. It's a limb to freeze
It's worry
Love is worry
Yeah
