Life Expectancies

My dad's 60
With a life expectancy of 80
And he probably has less time left than that
Because hearts can't beat forever
That's what keeps this world together
Universally, impermanence is fact

Because even stars will die sometime
Both in magazines and past cloudy skies
And even though I'm going to die
I'm still so glad that I'm alive
Because you can't have hellos without goodbyes

My dog's 10 with a life expectancy of 11
Yet she isn't sure what's left to come
And pretty soon she's going to leave
It's too late to help and too soon to grieve
And it's sad to know what we'll all soon become

But an amount of life to live
Has some amount of love to give
And I'm afraid that I keep wasting it
I'm wasting it
