Live Like You're Dying

 

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

How come we don't say I love you enough?

'Til it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come

And we could make a feast from these crumbs

And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun

So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done?

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies

Who would you call with your last goodbye?

Should be so careful who we left out of our lives

And when we long for absolution, there will be no one on the line

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying
