I see the headlights coming closer
I’m in it’s path and can’t get out of the way
Sudden unexpected excitement

I should have been a little more
Careful today with my time
A little more careful today
With watching where I’m going to
Guess now we’ll see, then won’t we?
As everyone does eventually
Snuffed like a wet rag applied to a match
Hurled from existence with haste and dispatch

And then we’ll see
And then we’ll see

In the last few seconds of existence
I think of things that I should have told you
(Now as well as then, well I guess)
And now you’ll never know
I try to conjure thoughts of substance
Just one more second to be through

(instrumental)

I know what I think at this moment
One more opportunity to lie to myself
And have I had an effect, an imprint?
I guess I’ll know when my head hits the cement
In just a second now

And then we’ll see
And then we’ll see
And then we’ll see
And then we’ll see

In just a second now
