lyrics

Will my life end like those in books that I have read?
Is half a sentence all I get to end the life I’ve lead
Never quite a child and not yet quite fully grown
After all it’s over what will I have to show?

Will I write some letters to an author I adore?
Will I play a sport for my Dad that I think is a bore?
Will I, in the end, have said all that I have had to say?
When it comes down to it, will I keep the promise anyway?

CHORUS
The world is not a wish granting factory, Hazel Grace
What marks will we leave for people yet to take out place?
Each and every day we are presented with a choice
What do we shout to the void? What echoes in our voice?

Will I fall in love with someone in such a short time?
Will we go to Amsterdam? What ladders will I climb?
Will I learn to not make people something that they’re not?
Will I learn just how fast and how much they all forgot

Or is that just nature of us, to forget those who’ve passed
To focus on the days that we still have while they last
Or maybe in the time we have we’re never meant to know
Questioning why we are here until the day we go

CHORUS

ENDING CHORUS
But that’s not the point I guess, remembered by us all
The marks we leave can still be great and yet seem very small
Our infinity might not be as large as other ones
I’m grateful for the days we had to do the things we’ve done.
