Wish I was Van Gogh and knew how to paint

Beautiful pictures of sinners and saints

I'd grab a canvas, and I'd paint your skin

So you could remember me long after this ends

Wish I was Shakespeare and knew better words

And my thoughts were poems you've never heard

Foreshadow my lyrics, how my heart won't heal

So when you leave me, you know how I feel

I'm not your future, hey, darling, I know

I wanna make memories your mind can't let go

I wanna make sure that you don't forget me

Before I'm old history

I wish I was Mozart, wrote symphonies

Attuned to the rhythm of my heartbeat

I'd turn myself right into a song

That you'll still be humming long after I'm gone

I'm not your future, hey, darling, I know

I wanna make memories your mind can't let go

I wanna make sure that you don't forget me

Before I'm old history

I'm not your future, hey, darling, I know

I wanna make memories your mind can't let go

I wanna make sure that you don't forget me

Before I'm old history
