Lisa Loeb - I Wanna Go First Lyrics

I wanna go first
Maybe burst into flames
The chute doesn’t open
Or just die on the plane
The way’s not important
I just want to explain
I wanna go first
And that’s all that I’m saying

Eaten by zombies or swallowed by sharks
If there’s anything left
They can use my good parts
I know it sounds grim, but it’s really the truth
Cause nothing is worse than a life without you

I don’t care if it all comes down
I don’t want to be the last one ’round
When it all runs out at the last, last call
Cause living without you’s not living at all

Maybe struck by a rainbow
Out searching for gold
Don’t get me wrong
I hope we grow old
But living without you’s not living at all
I hope that you know what I mean

Trampled by rhinos
Or crushed by a train
It might sound extreme
But it’s really quite sane
If I suffocate slowly
Don’t call the nurse
Cause living without you is definitely worse

I don’t care if it all comes down
I don’t want to be the last one ’round
When it all runs out at the last, last call
Cause living without you’s not living at all

You ask, so I’ll tell you the thoughts in my head
Just promise you’ll stay
Despite what I’ve said
Living without you’s not living at all
And if you died first it would kill me
