To Die Would Be A Great Adventure

from Universal Hurt by Frankie and His Fingers

/

lyrics

Hung a page from an old magazine in my bedroom
Hit record on a tape deck and sealed my doom
When to sleep with a draft of a Grammy speech in mind
Opened eyes with a car and a job and a loss of time
So here we stand dumb grown-ups and
Our collective disdain for the questions at hand

How can it be so hard to keep this burning
Give me that last red can of gasoline
I am a dying flame
Tell me you don’t feel the same
How can it be so hard to spark like
I’m still seventeen

Watch the years disappear in my c-c-c-coffee cup
Mourn the death of a deadline that I made up
This is not
A logical thought
It’s an itch on a scar from a wound that I got

How can it be so hard to keep this burning
Give me that last red can of gasoline
I am a dying flame
Tell me you don’t feel the same
How can it be so hard to spark like
I’m still seventeen

Did you just say
“Let it die away
You will finally learn to forget someday”

Here’s hoping
You’re joking
I’ll never learn to let it go
I’ll never learn to let this go
