To-infinitive

As I was just talking about in the last song, my dad passed away about a year and a half ago, maybe a little longer, and I realized I had a list of things I wanted to do when I was done doing what I thought I had to do.

Future simple

And when my dad died, I realized everyone wants you to forget you're going to die, because if they convince you you're not going to die, you waste your time doing what they want you to do.

The imperative

And it's like, dad died, then my friend Avicii died, then my friend Mac died, and one day I'm going to die, but before then, I'm going to live, live, live the way I want to live.

I took a pill in Ibiza to show Avicii I was cool.

And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older, oh, fuck it, it was something to do.

I'm a real big baller because I made a million dollars and I spend it on girls and shoes.

You don't ever want to step off that roller coaster and be all alone.

And you don't want to ride the bus like this, never knowing who to trust like this.

You don't want to be stuck up on that stage singing, stuck up on this stage singing.

Darling, oh, I know sad songs, sad songs.

I'm just a singer who already blew his shot.

My name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot.

And I can't keep a girl, no, because as soon as the sun comes up, I cut them all loose and work's my excuse.

Well, my friends are all gone, but there's manicured lawns and the people still think I'm a star.

I looked them in the eyes and said, you don't want to be high like me.

I'm available for weddings and bar mitzvahs.
