Let Me Go First

An ordinary day that starts just how they do
And your life's about to change but you still got no clue
Eyes catching, the time flashes by
Suddenly I'm on my knees begging, "Take me instead of you"

I hope I'll never live long enough to lose you
If you're gonna leave Earth, baby, let me go first
Is it wrong that I would choose to
Break your fall just to trade who's calling out to God and moving on?
'Cause I won't make it through if I ever live long enough to lose you
If you're gonna leave Earth, baby, let me go first
Baby, let me go first

I dreamed about your face before I knew how to
And now I got a taste, there ain't no sky without you
One last breath, your hand in mine
It's inevitable, we ain't invincible, so when it's time to fly

I bet I'll never live long enough to lose you
If you're gonna leave Earth, baby, let me go first
Is it wrong that I would choose to
Break your fall just to trade who's calling out to God and moving on?
'Cause I won't make it through if I ever live long enough to lose you
If you're gonna leave Earth, baby, let me go first
Baby, let me go first

I bet I'll never live long enough to lose you
Is it wrong that I would choose to
Break your fall just to trade who's calling out to God and moving on?
'Cause I won't make it through if I ever live long enough to lose you
If you're gonna leave Earth, baby, let me go first
Baby, let me go first

Baby, let me go first
