Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's go
[Verse 2]
Oh when the day is gone
Oh when the nights are long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 3]
We gotta live it up till it's gone
'Cause we won't be around too long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 4]
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Lately it seems the good dreams
Are few and far between
Nightmares are putting fires out with gasoline
And I'm just tryna stay righteous
Sometimes I see my own face in Christ's likeness
Yeah and apart from my life's vices
Fifteen years young
Had my first mid-life crisis
But it's tough to stay upright and pious
When people you hold highest
Be the ones that most biased
My daddy told me misery loves company
If that's the case they must hate
They ain't getting none from me
I don't sweat it
It's embedded in my DNA
I got a good heart
And bad brains
BMA
[Verse 6]
Oh when the day is gone
Oh when the nights are long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 7]
We gotta live it up till it's gone
'Cause we won't be around too long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 8]
Up late facebookin
Playing' coulda been
And starin' there at a empty bed
My ex-girl should'a been in
Thinking what I would'a done different
Not a damn thing
'Cause finally I'm done with it
Besides, I got a girl that adores me
And I never take for granted
All the things she does for me (Never)
I'll shoot the Moon down
And put it on a wedding band
And sing, These Arms of Mine, to her
She's an Otis Redding fan
And she'll never forget it man
'Cause she knows she'll never find a better man
Let's go ahead with these wedding plans
Come on and sing a song
Life goes on
[Verse 9]
Oh when the day is gone
Oh when the nights are long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 10]
We gotta live it up till it's gone
'Cause we won't be around too long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 11]
You take too much for granted
We don't want an inch we want miles
I just can't understand it (Can't understand it)
Is it really that hard to smile?
[Verse 12]
We don't ask we demand it (We demand it)
It's gone when it's gone
And I'm trying not to panic
But you know what they say, life goes on
[Verse 13]
Oh when the day is gone
Oh when the nights are long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 14]
We gotta live it up till it's gone
'Cause we won't be around too long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 15]
Oh when the day is gone
Oh when the nights are long
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 16]
We gotta live it up till it's gone
'Cause we won't be around too long
Life goes on
Life goes on
