Lyrics
I wanna do something they remember
I want to do something that leaves a lasting impression.
Go down in a blaze of glory together
I want to go out in a memorable and dramatic way together.
Steal a heart like it was a crime

There's a lot to accomplish, but time is limited.

Would love to believe, but addicted to science

If I get in a fight, I wanna deserve it

The day your life flashes before your eyes
The day one's life flashes before their eyes should be filled with meaningful experiences.
It better be worth watching
The experiences should be worth watching in retrospect.
The day you see the devil come
When encountering the devil, there's a hope for making a beneficial deal.
I hope you make a deal, my son
Encouragement to make a deal with the devil when confronted by him.
I wanna give something more than I can
Desire to contribute more than one is capable of giving.
Learn to dance and build my home with my hands

But I wanna go somewhere no one has been
Wish to explore uncharted territories.
I wanna walk free when I'm guilty as sin
