death

[Verse 1] Spent the Fourth of July in Palm Springs Met a woman whose husband died suddenly She was about sixty-five Loved him more than half her life easily Still surprised when she wakes up alone Puts on her favorite album even though she knows She'll end up a puddle on the floor She can't listen to Kenny Rogers anymore [Pre-Chorus] She looked us in the eyes Said cherish all our time And I felt you grab my hand a little tighter [Chorus] I hopе you get hit by a car on your way home from work I hope you gеt mauled by a bear or a shark or a bird I hope you go in your sleep, peacefully, next to me Actually, I'll go first, either way, it'll hurt I didn't say all that to make you upset Maybe I should just be more direct I wanna love you to death [Verse 2] In our house, forever is a dirty word The only box I want you in is in a hearse I make jokes when I feel uncomfortable I even laughed at my grandpa's funeral [Pre-Chorus] There's always divorce Infidelity, of course But our love deserves something that's more dramatic [Chorus] I hope you get hit by a car on your way home from work I hope you get mauled by a bear or a shark or a bird I hope you go in your sleep, peacefully, next to me Actually, I'll go first, either way, it'll hurt I didn't say all that to make you upset Maybe I should just be more direct [Bridge] It's just a morbid way to say That I want you every day And I don't want this thing to end 'til it has to 'Til your body starts to go Or I choke when you're not home I think Palm Spring lady knows she was lucky [Outro] I didn't say all that to make you upset Maybe I should just be more direct I wanna love you to death
