and oh

just tell her how you feel

because tomorrow is not coming

you will roll the red light without

noticing and crash metal to metal no

thoughts in between, some ironically happy

song on your car radio and you sing to it 'baby

i love you i love you' and you feel like you'll always have

another day another chance to tell her, and then you suddenly

breathe no more between the glass and metal scraps, you're gone

and please

just tell her how you feel

because tomorrow when she hears

the news of how there's nothing left of you

she'll be left behind with all the words you didn't say

and it aches and aches and aches let me tell you an old story

an old warning, the love is wonderful and someone always breaks

someone has to leave that is how time works at red lights and stop signs

just tell her now before she wakes up 40 years old married and missing you

tell her before the minutes sift past and in your last breath you sigh and say

i should have said i love you
