If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A despicable world with no salvation in sight
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A trail of tears without the slightest bit of fight
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A family praying for a sign of god’s light
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A future where you and I could watch the sun rise

Time passed me by; I don’t know what I hoped for
I was just searching for that girl I could open the door for
All I know is that when I leave this earth
I want to do it in a blaze of glory, not with a face full of dirt
Time passed me by; I’ve finally opened my eyes
To the indecencies that plague mankind
And when I lay my head down to rest one final time
I want to leave this place better then when I came into this life

If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A world bent on it’s own destruction in real-time
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A trail of bodies piled up a mountain high
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
Past lovers mourning over me in the moonlight
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A chance for you and I to survive

Time passed me by; I can’t say I handled it well
I don’t get how people can be so patient with an empty shell
All I know is that when I leave this planet
I don’t want to have taken the tiniest moment for granted
Time passed me by; like a whisper in the wind
I’ve spent all of this time searching for the ideal friend
And when I lay my head down to rest one final time
I want to be a better person to you than you were to I

If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A country where the odds are stacked against us a mile high
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A trail of breadcrumbs to find my way back into the light
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
People appreciating the few things that I did right
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A moment for you and I to intertwine

Time passed me by… (x8)

If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A city imploding under the weight of its skyline
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
A trail of signs pointing out my every slight
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
An adoring fan who feels dead inside
If I died tonight, what would I leave behind?
Nothing because I haven’t done shit!
