How long before my life is gone, will I ever know?
Should I keep worrying or should I just go?
I need to take the leap.
I need to feel the air.
I need to just let go.
I need to not care.
Someone told me to stop my crying because before I know it, I'll be dying.
So I need to take the leap.
I need to feel the air.
I need to just let go.
I need to not care.
Maybe in a minute,
Maybe in a year.
I guess I'll never know.
So I'll shed my last tear.
I'll take the leap.
I'll feel the air.
I'll just let go.
I won't care.
