Bright Eyes - Flirted With You All My Life Lyrics

I am a man
I am self aware
Everywhere I go, you're always right there with me

I flirted with you all my life
Even kissed you once or twice
To this day I swear it was nice
But clearly, I was not ready

When you touched a friend of mine
I thought that I would lose my mind
But I found out with time
That really, I was not ready
No, no

Oh death, oh death, oh death
Really, I'm not ready

Oh death you hector me
And decimate those dear to me
You tease me with your sweet relief
You are cruel, and you are constant

When my mom was cancer sick
She fought but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
Lord Jesus, please, I'm ready

Oh death, oh death, oh death
Really, I'm not ready
No, no, no
Oh death, oh death, oh death
Clearly I'm not ready, no

Oh death, oh death, oh death
Clearly I'm not ready
