8 Minutes (Acoustic)

What will I say

If the sun explodes

If the gas depletes

And the core implodes

Would the birds warn

That our time was through

8 minutes alone

Or 8 minutes with you

How could we know

That our time was spent

Celeritas taken

But celeritas sent

Life was lived

By the rays and tide

8 minutes to live

8 minutes to die

Been travelling long

Been working so hard

I would lay down

I would lay down

Like you should lay with me now

Been travelling long

Been working so hard

I would lay down

I would lay down

Like you should lay with me now

Would we learn our mistake

That the Earth don't turn

As our wheel spins

And our egos burn

If we knew on the day

Would they charge a fee

The last sunset

Could never be free

Our earthly cares

Would simplify

8 minutes to live

8 minutes to die

Each moment earned

Is a future new

8 minutes of future

8 minutes with you

Each moment earned

Is a future new

I'd forgo the world

For 8 minutes with you

Been travelling long

Been working so hard

I would lay down

I would lay down

Like you should lay with me now

Been travelling long

Been working so hard

I would lay down

I would lay down

Like you should lay with me now
