Frank Sinatra died today
I came home and found my mama crying
The TV had so much to say
Somehow I was thinking about dying
I'm seventeen and thinking about dying

I don't wanna live forever
Just wanna know that I'm alive
Don't wanna live forever
Just until the day I die

I see my daddy in his chair
He sits there night and day
The TV still looks good as new
Daddy's old and gray
And it's scaring me to death
I don't wanna go that way

I don't wanna live forever
Just wanna know that I'm alive
Don't wanna live forever
Just until the day I die
Just because your heart's still beating it don't mean that you're alive
Don't wanna live forever
Nobody lives forever
Gonna live while I'm alive

You can see the glass half-empty
You can see the glass half-full
But all I see are shattered dreams
Around this neighborhood

My brother's girlfriend's pregnant and
Today she's moving in
My friends all play the lottery and swear one day they'll win
I'm seventeen, I'm thinking about dying
I'm seventeen, no way I'm dying

Don't wanna live forever
Just wanna know that I'm alive
Don't wanna live forever
Just until the day I die
Just because you're breathing it don't mean that you're alive
Don't wanna live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't wanna live forever
Nobody lives forever
I Don't wanna live forever
Nobody lives forever
Don't wanna live forever
Don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't wanna live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't wanna live forever
