Story behind the song
From the perspective of someone who is close to death and has some regrets about not having done much with her life.
Lyrics
verse:
I'd like to say I'll be around for a while.
I would have reached ninety next year.
I used to say I'd go out young and in style,
But those wishes were never sincere,
chorus:
So many things left incomplete.
What I didn't do means more than I did.
I lie here pretending to be asleep,
Thinking about the life I never lived.
verse:
Death's usually painful and always sad,
But it's one thing in life that's fair.
Whatever we did, whatever we had,
All roads take us there.
instrumental
chorus
verse:
I've had two years of a tedious routine,
My choices not understood.
Now they're treating me like a queen.
I eat sausage and the drugs are good.
chorus
