If the next ten minutes were the last ten minutes
Would you pretend like you had more
Bargain with your maker
Like they hadn't already headed for the shore
'Cause when a ship's on fire, well
The rich men are the first to board the boats
Though they never tend to get that far
'Cause they never learned to row
If the next ten minutes were the last ten minutes
Would you just lay down on the floor
Cursing out your feelings while you're staring at the ceiling
Or find a better deal you swear you swore
'Cause when a room's on fire, well
The gamblers are the first ones out the back
When the odds aren't in your favor
You make a better wager than what you had
But I don't wanna know, at least I'm pretty sure I don't
I'll just wait until the water's wrapped its hands around my throat
No time for confession or a good bout of depression
I'll just slip into the ocean and the cold
I've been grasping for the point of this
Anything of consequence at all
I lived I laughed I loved, was that ever all it was
Just a little sign to hang upon the wall
I don't believe in the hereafter, just the present and the past
But that's getting pretty bleak, so honey can I ask
If for the last ten minutes, we pretend this too shall pass
No I don't wanna know, at least I'm pretty sure I don't
I'll just wait until the water's wrapped its hands around my throat
No time for confession or a good bout of depression
I'll just slip into the ocean and the cold
Slip into the ocean and the cold
But at least we had each other
No I wouldn't change a thing
If we both had to go through it
At least we got to be a we
I will follow to the dark my love
I hope you'll follow me
But I won't dare look back
No the point is to believe
I don't wanna know, at least I'm pretty sure I don't
I'll just wait until the water's wrapped its hands around my throat
No time for confession or a good bout of depression
I'll just slip into the ocean and the cold
Slip into the ocean and the cold
Slip into the ocean and the
