[Verse] There's no point in slowing down You've got the rest of your life to do that But if you're tired You can rest now The rest of your life can wait [Prechorus] Some call it "Terminal Lucidity" The way that a ghost Will always look like they did when they were happy The way you smile now [Chorus] A minute ago You were half-gone Now you could get up and run a marathon You're telling me jokes Asking me questions And when I answer You look at me like you just found out that I'm your best friend It's the kind of joy I can barely remember It's the kind of joy that looks a lot like surrender [Verse 2] I didn't know that it was possible But the sun is brighter today You can stay up for as long as you want to The rest of your life can wait [Prechorus] Some call it "Terminal Lucidity" The way that a ghost Will always look like they did when they were happy The way you smile now [Chorus] A minute ago You were half-gone Now you could get up and run a marathon You're telling me jokes Asking me questions And when I answer You look at me like you just found out that I'm your best friend It's the kind of joy I can barely remember It's the kind of joy that looks a lot like surrender
