When I die, how does my soul know to leave my body? It's lived there its whole life. It might be scared, honestly. I know my bones will stay I know my name will fade But what if I still feel the shape of my own face? Will I see myself from above like on the wings of a dove Or will I just sink straight down like a fish learning to drown If there's a door, let it open slow If there's a light, let it take its time I don't want to fall I just want to know who I'll be when I cross that line When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? It's lived in me so long It might be scared to leave When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? If I am more than this Then don't let me disappear too fast I used to think the end would feel like falling rain But maybe it's a fucking hand unclenching from this goddamn pain Maybe from on high I'll hear A choir singing sickly sweet Maybe I'll just stop trembling Underneath a pale sheet If there's a door, let it open slow If there's a light, let it take its time I don't want to fall I just want to know who I'll be when I cross that line When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? It's lived in me so long It might be scared to leave When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? If I am more than this Then don't let me disappear too fast And if I shake don't call it doubt I'm just a heart learning the route If I look back it's not goodbye I'm only asking what waits outside When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? It's lived in me so long It might be scared to leave When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? If I am more than this Then don't let me disappear too fast When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? It's lived in me so long It might be scared to leave When I die, how does my soul know how to go? How to go? If I am more than this Then don't let me disappear too fast Don't let me go Don't let me go, it's me you'll miss Please hold my name until I breathe again Please hold my name until I...
