Story behind the song
In December a friend of mine was living a normal life. In January she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Already too far along. Without chemo she'll live about 2 months more. She started chemo today. That might give her 9 or 10 months.
Lyrics
verse:
So much to do, so little time.
I'm racing toward the finish line
With barely a chance to say good-bye
To those who matter in my life
chorus:
If I had a year,
I'd spend with you near.
My clock is running fast.
Next month could be my last
verse:
My Friday night wine and cheese
Is chamomile and saltines.
No more evenings on the town.
I'm so glad you stick around.
chorus
interlude:
Maybe I shouldn't try,
Just give up and die.
verse:
I'm at the corner of bad and worse.
At times I curse the universe.
No matter how much I rehearse,
I don't know how to play this verse.
chorus
