Lyrics

1.The child I was, counting the days til the summer would come
2.but
3.you don’t live forever,
4.your mother will one day bring you home.5.
6.and I feel so stupid,
7.cus I wasn’t scared of this before
8.But since I met you,
9.I don’t wanna die no more10.
11.So take a long time,
12.cus oh, the world is lucky to be your home
13.I know
14.I need a next life, cus I’m not satisfied to know you just once15.

16.So take a long time,
17.cus oh, the world is lucky to be your home
18.I know
19.I need a next life –
20.not satisfied to know you just once21.
22.To live with dying,
23.wouldn’t you see our world as dark?
24.But I won’t spend time resenting the way things are25.
26.So take a long time,
27.oh, the world is lucky to be your home
28.I know

「Porter Robinson」Comment

This song is about being so in love with someone that, for the first time in your life, you’re scared of dying. You realize you aren’t guaranteed an eternity together. In the lyrics, I talk about going to find God to make sure she’s okay, and it makes me cry every time. I was bawling my eyes out in the studio, I could barely get the words out. In the end, though, it’s also an expression of gratitude, because the world is lucky to have her. Rika and I have been together four years, and honestly it’s really time for me to propose. But I wanted to wait until after the pandemic.
