Like the other songs on the Don’t Die Curious EP, its title track was first released as a single. It was the second song off of the EP to be released, after “Got Gold”.
The EP was already teased in late 2017, but the first signs of “Don’t Die Curious” appeared in a January 2018 tweet. In it, Fenn a...
[Intro: Strings]
[Verse 1]
You can't right click on a face
You can't be the winner of the human race
You can't do everything in this place
But don't die curious
You can't be the healer of every soul
You can't be the Queen all on your own
You can't beat the nighttime with a glow
But don't die curious
[Interlude: Trumpets]
[Verse 2]
You can't count every single grain of sand
You can't save a heart by holding a hand
You can't make everyone understand
But don't die curious
[Chorus]
Hello words that I just did not say
I found a way to hesitate, to deviate
Oh, we just died curious
[Interlude: Trumpets]
[Verse 3]
You can't be a runner with a broken toe
You can't paint a painting like Van Gogh
You can't pronounce everything right, you know?
But don't die curious
You can't move a mountain in a beat
You can't find the truth of everyone you meet
You can't kiss a stranger in the street
But don't die curious
[Chorus]
Hello words that I just did not say
I found a way to hesitate, to deviate
Oh, we just died curious
[Bridge]
You can't change a mind without a fight
Waiting for the hope of a morning light
You can't find love on your own tonight
[Chorus]
Hello life that I just did not do
Ignored the clues, I ran from you
I found the blues
Oh, we just died
Hello words that I just did not say
I found a way to hesitate, to deviate
Oh, we just died curious
