Lyrics for Me in 20 Years

Hey, after all these years I'm still here, fingers outstretched With your imprint in my bed A pit so big I lay on the edge Will love let me down again? Oh, no No, it won't get in I'm left wonderin' If it's written on my urn That I'll burn alone Like a star I wonder how I'll sleep at night With a cavity by my side And nothing left to hold but pride, will I Hold out for more time? Hey me in 20 years Does your milk still turn to rot too soon? Do you still hoard souvenirs And make them mirrors of sentimental veneer? I wonder how I'll sleep at night With a cavity by my side And nothing left to hold but pride, will I Hold out a little bit more Little bit longer, a little bit more Little bit longer, a little bit more Little bit longer, just a little bit more A little bit longer, a little bit more A little bit longer, a little bit more Little bit more, a little bit more Little bit longer And I wonder how I'll sleep at night With a cavity right by my side Nothing left to hold but pride of mine Is it laced within my DNA To be braced in endless January? Have I become the cavity I feared? Ask me in 20 years
