Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna be immortal like a God in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever, forever in your heart
Oh, we'll always be together from the end to the start
[Verse 2]
That's what we do it for, to reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do it for, to reserve a space
In history it's just part of the human race
Race
[Verse 3]
I'm forever chasin' after time but everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price, I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire and the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours and you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasin' after time, time
[Verse 4]
When you love somebody they'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered, don't wanna live in vain
But nothin' lasts forever, this world is in a losin' game
[Verse 5]
I wanna mean somethin' to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life
[Verse 6]
I'm forever chasin' after time but everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price, I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire and the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours and you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasin' after time, time
[Verse 7]
No, I don't wanna be afraid, afraid to die, die, die
I just wanna be able to say that I have lived my life, life
Oh, all the things that humans do to leave behind a little proof
But the only thing that doesn't die is love, love, love, love, love
[Verse 8]
I'm forever chasin' after time but everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price, I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire and the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memories of our lifetime
Everybody dies, dies
Chasin' after time, time
[Verse 9]
So keep me alive
So keep me alive
So keep me alive, alive
Race, race, race, race
