## Writing and composition

Ross admits that the title is a bit "morbid" and that the track is about "The track is not about celebrating death, but about celebrating life. It is intended to leave a positive impression on the listener: go live your life before it is too late. Take advantage of that opportunity, ask him to dance."

## Critical reception

ATWOOD Magazine opined:

> "is the perfect introduction to *X*. It acutely demonstrates the musical depths they are able to find in just a single track, while simultaneously introducing the positive vibrato they embody with lyrics that encourage seizing the day. Ross’s smooth and confident vocals glide in with nothing but a silky guitar lick. Slowly, low synth sounds, and edgy harmonies join in as the song swiftly transitions in and out of face smacking rock to melodic popping bop."

The Vinyl Boys opined:

> "I’m going to be honest, I like this song. This was the first song I found by them and was immediately hooked. It has a very relaxed and haunting tone and has a 90s punk-rock sound to it. It is far different than anything on the album, which makes it good and stick out. The song is pretty self explanatory for the meaning and if you listen to it once I’m pretty sure you will get the meaning, death."

## Lyrics

I hope she likes my moves

I hope she likes to dance

Welcome to the end of your life

Never thought you'd see the white light yeah

You probably shouldn't run the red light yeah

I know you hope you said your goodbye ye ye ye

Wish you would've never thought twice yeah

Never got to save a girl's life yeah

Why we should've learned to play nicer

Now I wish I would've said bye ye ye

Now its just me and a beer

Can't tell if I'm really here

I think I'm leaving this body

Take me to heavenly hills

With all the roses and bills

Where you can bury my body

I hope she likes my moves

I hope she likes to dance

Welcome to the end of your life

Never thought you'd see the white light yeah

You probably shouldn't run the red light yeah

I know you hope you said your goodbye ye ye ye

Always on the hunt for more ice yeah

I bet you only used the both price yeah

Maybe you'll come back and live twice yeah

Now I wish I would've said bye ye ye

Now its just me and a beer

Can't tell if I'm really here

I think I'm leaving this body

Take me to heavenly hills

With all the roses and bills

Where you can bury my body

Now its just me and a beer

Can't tell if I'm really here

I think I'm leaving this body

Take me to heavenly hills

With all the roses and bills

Where you can bury my body

I hope she likes my moves

I hope she likes to dance
