Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, eh, yeah
[Verse 2]
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
Till it's too late?
It's not too late
[Verse 3]
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all starin' down the barrel of a gun
So if you're life flashed before you
What would you wish you would've done? Yeah
[Verse 4]
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 clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
[Verse 5]
We only got eighty-six, four hundred seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying, oh
[Verse 6]
But 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'll be be no one on the line, yeah
[Verse 7]
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 clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
[Verse 8]
We only got eighty-six, four hundred 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, oh
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
[Verse 9]
We only got eighty-six, four hundred seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dyin'
[Verse 10]
Yeah
[Verse 11]
Mmm, you never know a good thing till it's gone
You never see a crash till it's head on
Why we think we're right when we're dead wrong?
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Yeah, we gotta stop
[Verse 12]
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 clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
[Verse 13]
We've only got eighty-six, four hundred seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
[Verse 14]
We've only got eighty-six, four hundred seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
