When they say you might (or might not) die,
That you might just be miserable for the rest of your days,
but they can’t say how many days of misery you’ll get to enjoy,
you try on clairvoyance.
Looking ahead, how far do you see?
Can you see another 25 years?
How does the next decade look?
Can you see next year?
Next month?
Next week?
Are you sure of tomorrow?
When these questions cannot be answered,
when you look ahead and see nothing at all,
you get philosophical.
No one ever knows which day will be their last, do they?
Shouldn’t we all live our todays like they might be our last days?
You decide to assume tomorrow may not come again;
You act like you have nothing to lose
And, before you know it, you have built the life you always wanted,
A life you really don’t want to lose.
And that’s when it happens.
