Cover art for When We Die lyrics by Bowling for Soup

To me, this song is about someone who has made a lot of mistakes in the past, but now he wants to make everything right. People aren't always so forgiving for the mistakes we make, but you've gotta make it right, because there's gonna be some day when you CAN'T make it right. This song is just about trying to make up for all the mistakes you've made.
