It's Not as Depressing as It Sounds - Bayside

Wrap me in linen

And show me to my tomb

Fashioned from sheets we’ve shared

And things I’ve yet to prove

And the glue is the hope that any promise I spoke

To my seat or myself or any person of note

Would be made good while I’ve still got the time

It’s not as depressing as it sounds

Just want to be prepared

I’m in no rush to end it

But look at it from my perspective

I’ve messed with confidence and never understood

If you’re not afraid then you’re not doing all you could

And I know that there’s love because I’ve seen it myself

And I’ll be damned if I don’t move because I’m scared to cross the road

I’ve never felt so much that I’d arrived

It’s not as depressing as it sounds

Just want to be prepared

I’m in no rush to end it

But look at it from my perspective

We want a happy home

We want to die with friends

We want to smile in life

Smile in the end

And I’ve been hoping

For clearer vision and open eyes

I want to stop wasting all my time keeping score

And stop existing for all this wishing and asking for

What I don’t have when I’ve got so much that I just ignore it

It’s not as depressing as it sounds

Just want to be prepared

I’m in no rush to end it

But look at it from my perspective

We want a happy home

We want to die with friends

We want to smile in life

Smile in the end

It’s not as depressing as it sounds

It’s not as depressing as it sounds
