# WHEN I GET THERE [INTRO | tape hiss | distant organ | muted bass] [VERSE 1] I don't know where I'm going When this body quits Everybody talks like they know I don't buy that shit I tried to believe it Back when I was young Now every prayer feels different When you don't know who you're praying to [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe there's a light Maybe there's nothing Maybe I'm just scared Of not knowing [CHORUS | hypnotic | gospel-like backing vocals] When I get there If I get there I don't know what waits for me When I get there If I get there I hope I'm not alone When I get there Don't tell me heaven Don't tell me hell I just wanna know If I was here For something [VERSE 2] I've lost people I still talk to When nobody's around Sometimes I swear they're listening Sometimes I know they're not I keep their voices with me Like proof they weren't just gone But maybe that's the cruel part We disappear and carry on [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe there's a light Maybe there's nothing Maybe being afraid Is the most human thing [CHORUS] When I get there If I get there I don't know what waits for me When I get there If I get there I hope I'm not alone When I get there Don't tell me heaven Don't tell me hell I just wanna know If I was here For something [BRIDGE | stripped | whispered] If God is there I hope He understands I spent my whole life Trying to understand myself [FINAL CHORUS | heavier] When I get there If I get there Maybe I'll finally know When I get there If I get there Maybe nobody knows And if there's nothing After this I guess that's okay I just wish I knew I mattered Before I fade [OUTRO] If there's somewhere after this I hope I see them again
