headed for a headstone

I've had this video in a folder titled 'blog' and just didn't know when I would post it.  Now seems as good time as any.  My takeaway from this song:  You better be truly living.  Life is too grand.  And this is the only one you've got.

he said baby what’s the big deal

feel what you wanna feel

say what you’re gonna say

you’re gonna die one day

for example I could kiss you

just because I want to

what’s the difference if you turn away

I’m gonna die one day

why do you waste your time

thinkin bout your reputation

trying to meet an expectation

wonderin what they’re gonna say

when everyone you ever known

is headed for a headstone

I don’t wanna give the end away

but we’re gonna die one day

your body is an animal

doesn’t ask for much

a little music and a soft touch

why don’t you let it out to play

your heart is in a bird cage

singing in your chest

you wanna shut it up, but give it a rest

you’re gonna die one day

why do you waste your time

thinkin bout an obligation

runnin from a confrontation

wonderin what you oughtta say

when everyone you ever known

is headed for a headstone

I don’t wanna give the end away

but we’re gonna die one day

so baby what’s the big deal

if you wanna be free

say what you wanna feel

and spend the night with me

I’m gonna take you up in my arms

and if we must go down

we’ll go singin to the smoke alarms

we’ll dance into the ground
