Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From today all the days are only half as long
Nothing left to laugh about
Yesterday is one million years ago
The day before already went down
Time's been replaced by a countdown
The sun is shining in the night
Sorry, I was just thinking twice
Wake me up, 'cause time is running out, running out
Running out, running out
[Chorus]
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
[Verse 2]
From today our life is just a TV show
You can even get a planet for free
The whole galaxy is chilling out
And time laps are all you can see
Don't look back 'cause now is all that counts
Remember that before you forget
Sorry, I was just thinking twice
Wake me up 'cause time is running out, running out
[Chorus]
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go
[Bridge]
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Stop it now
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up!
[Chorus]
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go
Live every second
Here and now
Don't let go
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
[Outro]
Wake up
Stop it now
