[Verse 1]

Let’s get this outta the way

I wanna state clearly right here

I have no intention to die

But sometimes impulses appear

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I get the sudden urge

To jump in front of trains

Or steer the car into

The opposing lane

And like a fleeting itch

I’ve got a deathwish

[Verse 2]

As I’m here talking to you

It’s obviously safe to assume

That I’m not impulsive enough

To act on these fancies of doom

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But don’t be surprised to find

Me standing on a ledge

Looking down over that seductive edge

Hypnotized by “what if”

I’ve got a deathwish

[Chorus]

If my mind can think it

Does that mean it may come true?

If my mind can think it

(I want to live, I want to die)

Does that mean it may come true?

(I want to live, I want to die)

[Bridge]

I guess it’s all right

To wonder what's

On the other side

[Pre-Chorus 3]

If you’re a victim of

These crazy sorts of thoughts

You fear you’re alone out there

But clearly not

Into the dark abyss

We’ve got a deathwish

[Chorus]

If my mind can think it

(I want to live, I want to die)

Does that mean it may come true?

(I want to live, I want to die)

If my mind can think it

(I want to live, I want to die)

Does that mean it may come true?

(I want to live, I want to die)
