It's Not As Depressing As It Sounds

Wrap me in linen
 And show me to my tomb
 Fashioned from sheets we've shared
 And things I've yet to prove
 And the glue is the hope that any promise I spoke
 To my seat or myself or any person of note
 Would be made good while I've still got the time
 It's not as depressing as it sounds
 Just want to be prepared
 I'm in no rush to end it
 But look at it from my perspective
 I've messed with confidence and never understood
 If you're not afraid then you're not doing all you could
 And I know that there's love because I've seen it myself
 And I'll be damned if I don't move because I'm scared to cross the road
 I've never felt so much that I'd arrived
 It's not as depressing as it sounds
 Just want to be prepared
 I'm in no rush to end it
 But look at it from my perspective
 We want a happy home
 We want to die with friends
 We want to smile in life
 Smile in the end
 And I've been hoping
 For clearer vision and open eyes
 I want to stop wasting all my time keeping score
 And stop existing for all this wishing and asking for
 What I don't have when I've got so much that I just ignore it
 It's not as depressing as it sounds
 Just want to be prepared
 I'm in no rush to end it
 But look at it from my perspective
 We want a happy home
 We want to die with friends
 We want to smile in life
 Smile in the end
 It's not as depressing as it sounds
 It's not as depressing as it sounds
