Pallbearer
I saw a tattoo of a coffin
Said "we all get in"
I used to think of it less often
But the older I get
I hear the gospel in a graveyard
As I bury a friend
On such an ordinary basis
I am figuring it all out
Let me tell you what it's all about
I used to sing the songs about it back when I was bold
I'd ask my daddy what they meant; he'd say "we all grow old"
I guess it helped me come to terms
For twenty years or so
But now we're all getting older, and some of us are gone
Got no time to lose
But I got time to give
Guess we're all gonna die
So we might as well live
I'll carry you to the grave
But I won't get in!
I've fallen victim to nostalgia
Even I know it
I miss the things that I did not
Appreciate as a kid
I think the grass was really greener then
The sky was more blue
The polar bears still had a chance
And all of my dreams came true
Do you remember that too?
Got no time to lose
But I got time to give
Guess we're all gonna die
So we might as well live
I'll carry you to the grave
But I won't get in!
Got no time to lose
But I got time to give
Guess we're all gonna die
So we might as well live
I'll carry you to the grave
But I
I won't get in
Said "we all get in"
I used to think of it less often
But the older I get
I hear the gospel in a graveyard
As I bury a friend
On such an ordinary basis
I am figuring it all out
Let me tell you what it's all about
I used to sing the songs about it back when I was bold
I'd ask my daddy what they meant; he'd say "we all grow old"
I guess it helped me come to terms
For twenty years or so
But now we're all getting older, and some of us are gone
Got no time to lose
But I got time to give
Guess we're all gonna die
So we might as well live
I'll carry you to the grave
But I won't get in!
I've fallen victim to nostalgia
Even I know it
I miss the things that I did not
Appreciate as a kid
I think the grass was really greener then
The sky was more blue
The polar bears still had a chance
And all of my dreams came true
Do you remember that too?
Got no time to lose
But I got time to give
Guess we're all gonna die
So we might as well live
I'll carry you to the grave
But I won't get in!
Got no time to lose
But I got time to give
Guess we're all gonna die
So we might as well live
I'll carry you to the grave
But I
I won't get in
