Do You Know How Many Times You & I'Ve Died?

do you know how many times you & i’ve died? i don’t think you do let’s start with . . . i fell out, fell far, fell hard from a tree you dropped off the monkey-bars i stepped into the invitation of a stranger’s car you grabbed a wire. . . bare i dove, with confidence, in shallow water you took a dare i stayed too long on a railway track you found a hill and ‘jack & jill’ed’ your back in fact both you & i. . . at the same time tried something new i went green, you turned out blue i remember too crossing against the light looked left, should’ve looked right it’s amazing to me, that we’re able to say no matter how many times you & i’ve died ‘we live another day’
