This Man and the Dream Surfers - Precancerous White Spots

My parents will die someday and when they do
I know that I will be unprepared
There is a world without them, so it seems
But it's a sunken world beyond repair
I didn't get to know any of my other family
In a way that I can lean on them
Mom and dad are fine, I don't know how these thoughts
Grow or, crucially, how they are stemmed

Wasting time, oh
The greatest crime
That any of us could have
I love you guys and
I'm sorry because
You are all my better half

My best friends will die around the same time as me
Except for those surprises who leave before
It won't be as bad because I will know death
Although I'm certain it'll still feel sore
Because not being allowed to talk to the ones I love
Because of something like a heartbeat hurts
There will come times when grief will overwhelm
And I will crash down into the earth

Stay with me, oh, when the time comes
Oh won't you please stay with me
We've got time, oh, not time enough
Oh won't you please stay with me
