By The Time You’re Reading This

[Verse 1]
I flipped the light switch
Go get excited
Cut you a slice of paradise
Come let your guard down
Lay all of your cards out
You could say no but what's the price?

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel it slipping through your fingers
Clutching onto old school pictures
So take the night off and put it in drive
But you should know, you should know

[Chorus]
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
So come now, dive right in
The water's fine to swim
Don't look away, don't blink
Or you'll regret it
By the time that you're rеading this
I'll be gone

[Verse 2]
Take off your mask and
Show mе your heart
I wanna rip it to pieces
I know it will hurt but
I promise you that you
Will always remember this feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
If it isn't now, then when? And tell me
If it isn't me, then who the fuck is it?
Go sleep it off
You'll miss your shot
You'll miss your shot

[Chorus]
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
So come now, dive right in
The water's fine to swim
Don't look away, don't blink
Or you'll regret it
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone

[Bridge]
Feel it slipping through your fingers
Clutching onto old school pictures
So go kill me with your innocence
Or throw it all away, all away

[Chorus]
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
So come now, dive right in
The water's fine to swim
Don't look away, don't blink
Or you'll regret it
By the time that you're reading this
I'll be gone
(I'll be gone)
(And I'll be gone)
