[Verse 1] My knees talk back now When I stand too fast My hands keep dropping What they used to catch I bend to tie my shoes And I need that pause Like my body’s asking Who gave you these laws? [Pre-Chorus] And every little ache Starts a bigger thought That I laugh off first Then I don’t [Chorus] Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die? Say it plain, say it plain When the room gets quiet Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die? I’m still right here But I feel time bite [Verse 2] My back wakes up sore Before the day begins I hear my joints complaining Through my skin The mirror keeps a record I can’t unsee A slower walk A stranger in me [Pre-Chorus] And every little crack Turns into a flame I brush it off Then I say the name [Chorus] Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die? Say it plain, say it plain When the room gets quiet Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die? I’m still right here But I feel time bite [Bridge] Last week it was nothing Now I’m counting breaths A bill in the drawer A call I haven’t made yet I don’t need forever Just a little more grace To wake up tomorrow And still know my face [Chorus] Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die? Say it plain, say it plain When the room gets quiet Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die? I’m still right here But I feel time bite [Outro] My knees talk back now When I stand too fast I’m learning how to live With the fact it won’t last
