Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
[Verse 2]
I see my life like a dream on a one way track
I've made mistakes and I couldn't take 'em back
And I've been runnin' 'round in circles till I'm dizzy, I can't lie
But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survived
[Verse 3]
I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
[Verse 4]
And I've seen my friends fall away before their time
And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light
So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right
Someday I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight
[Verse 5]
I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
I'm one less day from dying young
[Verse 6]
All my life I have been wandering
Burning up my candle like my time just won't end
And I'll keep burning till there's nothing left
Praying that tomorrow I can do it all again
And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again
[Verse 7]
I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
And I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
[Verse 8]
I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young (From dying young)
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young (From dying young)
I'm one less day from dying young (From dying young)
[Verse 9]
(I'm one less day from dying young)
(I see the light)
(I'm one less day from dying young)
(I'm one less day from dying young)
