If I Die Young Pt. 2 Songtext
von Kimberly Perry

I put one hand in the air, I′m closing my eyes
My whole heart's beating for the very first time
That boy here in town, says "Darling, just drive"
I swear the gates of heaven just opened up wide
And Lord, I′m glad you didn't pay me no attention
When I sent up a prayer of child's premonition, ′cause

I′ve had time to bloom, planting them roses instead and
I'm changing my tune, from when I said

If I die young, bury my in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
Now I know there′s no such thing as enough time


I'm looking more like my mother, I love her to the bone
I know it′s gonna kill me on the day she goes home
I'll pour some holy water on the daughter of my own
I′ll pass my name down, for it's on her headstone
It was so dramatic, beautiful but tragic
Throwing my emotions in a poem, got a casket but

I've had time to bloom, planting them roses instead and
I′m changing my tune, from when I said

If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
Now I know there′s no such thing as enough time

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Ohh-oh

And I'm so glad I′m here now instead of somewhere underground
I think I'll always want to stay
I guess it′s too late anyway

To die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The short knife of a short life
Now I know there's no such thing as enough time


So put on your best boys
And I′ll where my pearls
