Keaton HensonAbout
This seems to be another song about Keaton’s father: Nicky Henson. It’s in Nicky’s point of view as he speaks about the cancer that is overcoming his mind and body – doing his best to be a husband and father while it is happening. He knows he is going to die, hence the repetition of “while I can.”
While I Can Lyrics
[Verse 1]
While my lungs have breath to sing for you
And I have fingers left to cling to you
While my thoughts are making any sense
While I'm living in the present tense
I will wake up on the wrong side of the modern
Will it hold on to your fingers like a seat belt?
While my legs can't stand
I wanna love you while I can
[Verse 2]
While my spine can still stand up for us
Before the bones inside me turn to dust
While my skin can hold the cells of you
I will make a mess of telling you
Until the rebirth comes to scare you
Cut me out, I fucking dare you
I'm a master of denial
While I still have teeth to smile
I will wear it like a noose babe
Like an actor wears a new name
If you cast me I will be there
I will take the lead
I wanna tell you while I breathe
[Chorus]
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die
I want a kid or two
I wanna live with you
I wanna live with you till we die
