The Day That I Die (Acoustic) Lyrics
One day I woke up,
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Cashdog was barkin'
Went to the park and
Enjoyed it one last time
I called my mother
Told her I loved her and
I begged her not to cry
I wrote a letter
And said I missed her
And I signed that "goodbye"
Ya know the happiest day of my life
(of my life)
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight
(The day that I die)
It sets in but it's all right
(The day that I die)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine
We took a drive and
We drove to DC
To see the places we lived
Long conversations
We talked of old friends
And all the things that we did
Summer nights, drunken fights
Mistakes we made
Did we live it right
Ya know the happiest day of my life
(of my life)
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight
(The day that I die)
It sets in but it's all right
(The day that I die)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine
Ya know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight
(The day that I die)
It sets in but it's all right
(The day that I die)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right
(Day that I die)
Did I live it right, I know I lived it right
(Day that I die)
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right
(Day that I die)
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Cashdog was barkin'
Went to the park and
Enjoyed it one last time
I called my mother
Told her I loved her and
I begged her not to cry
I wrote a letter
And said I missed her
And I signed that "goodbye"
(of my life)
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
(The day that I die)
It sets in but it's all right
(The day that I die)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine
We drove to DC
To see the places we lived
Long conversations
We talked of old friends
And all the things that we did
Summer nights, drunken fights
Mistakes we made
Did we live it right
(of my life)
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
(The day that I die)
It sets in but it's all right
(The day that I die)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine
I swear the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
(The day that I die)
It sets in but it's all right
(The day that I die)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine
(Day that I die)
Did I live it right, I know I lived it right
(Day that I die)
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right
(Day that I die)

hasn't anyone ever asked you what you would do if you knew you only had 24 hours to live? i think thy're just telling how they would spend their last day alive. not neccessarily by suicide. and its the happiest not only because it all ends but becaues its a day full of love and memories. i luv benji
To me that's about suicide. Someone who can't handle or cope w/life and they feel that the best thing to do is kill themselves, so that they think that's the best day of their life. Quite sad when you think of it like that, but I believe that it's true, I haven't really listened to Good Charlotte, but my friend LOVES them, even has an e-mail address kind of about them..LoL.. And so he has a goood taste in music, so I think I'd like these... :) Enough randomness.. bwahah!
this song seems almost about suicide, but not quite. if it IS about suicide, it's what he'd imagine someone who commits suicide would feel and not what he's ever felt himself. it seems to me that this song is about what would happen if he knew he was going to die and how it was a good day because he took control over his life and had a good time remembering how he lived and didnt regret anything.
wow!!!! gc has sure grown lyrically
wow. this song made me cry. i havent heard it yet, cuz thier new cd isn't out yet..but the lyrics just made me cry. they sure have grown lyrically, from cute songs like "walk by" to this. i mean their other songs are deep and meaningful..but still. i know..this is kinda depressing. their others songs are usually kinda upbeat. and to me, it's about suicide. which is sad, cuz they've always been my "cheer up sure life sucks but it'll get better" band. oh well. enough rambling. this sounds like a great song and i love the lyrics. even if it's kinda sad. buti'm a more of an emo-core girl, so all my music is sad. yes..adding to my collection. lol..
i really like this song. it's an acoustic song, and it's not joel that sings lead, benji does. i think it sounds really good. it is a really sad song, but i tend to like sad songs.
in the song benji and joel go back and forth so really no body sings lead. i have the song, and i know there's a way to send it through AIM so, if you wanna IM me and explain it to me i could maybe send you the song. the s/n is asxestolemystash
Hey I just want everyone to knwo that the C.D. comes out on September 17th or 19th, its one or the other. Its going to be called "The Young and the Hopeless"
