One Day I'm Going To Die

GON

Go out to a fancy restaurant

Indulge in tea and a croissant

To some voice I'm a confidant

One day I'm going to die

 

Tonight I'll watch the Super Bowl

And for a moment it'll fill the hole

But calling from deep within my soul

One day I'm going to die

 

Then one night I met a girl

Her hair was dark with light swirls

As time passed and the night unfurled

She filled all the space in my mind

 

One day we went on a picnic

And the scene may have been a gimmick

But I wasn't born a cynic

So we just had a good time

 

Tasting things, tarty and sweet

Two baskets full of foods to eat

On that hill I made her a treat

And the taste was sublime

 

Fast forward a year, we're happily wed

She still filled all the space in my head

So imagine my reaction as she said

I'm coming down sick and soon I'll be dead

 

Now sitting alone in that restaurant

Growing cold in my hand flakes a croissant

And I smile as a thought suddenly dawns

Oh yeah, one day I'm going to die
