Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life in a day
The price that you pay
For the time that you spent
It's such a fatal event
Take a look at your watch
There is no time to wait
Take a look deep inside
There's no escape from this day
[Verse 2]
Life in a day
Life in a day
Take a look around you
Is it true what they say?
[Verse 3]
Life in a day
Life in a day
Is there no place to hide?
Could there be some other way?
[Verse 4]
Can you see how they run?
Do you believe what they say?
They'll soon be looking for you
For sure they'll get you away
The premonition came true
Look all around and you'll see
Some say it takes two to know
Or could it all just be me?
[Verse 5]
Life in a day
Life in a day
I like to see how they run
They came running this way
[Verse 6]
Life in a day
Life in a day
No sense in looking for you
They're gonna get you one way
[Verse 7]
Life in a day
Life in a day
Life in a day
Life in a day
