I stayed up all day, just to watch the sun go down These days I never know how much longer I'll be around But when I go, at least she'll know I saw all she wanted me to see If I can leave that on paper, I'll be so proud of me Sometimes what we say is gone as soon as it's said But if your eyes can read feelings I'm leaving, then I'll never be dead Today I saw the open door I know will surely set me free If I can go through it with a smile, I'll be so proud of me If I'm gonna leave something behind, I'd better write it down Cause I want to capture all that I can while I'm still around Cause I know the written word won't follow me into the ground So if I'm gonna leave something behind, I'd better write it down If I'm gonna leave something behind I'd better write it down
