The Night of Your Life Is When You'll Die Lyrics
Listen up before the day is faded.
I got a really short story to tell.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Can I open with a question?
Not a sugar-coated lesson.
Less than 20 minutes later when
we're catching dirty looks
from the ones who won't admit when they're wrong.
Scaring all the girls just by repeating the name of this song.
You think you're getting off easy,
but you're barely getting along,
playing harder to get.
Got no issue with the time
when you're out of your life.
The more you try to make a stand,
the longer you're gonna sit.
Too fulfilling, committing for a full go.
Too fulfilling, committing for a fool.
Listen up before the day is faded.
I got a really short story to tell.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Listen up before the day is faded.
I got a really short story to tell.
As anyone can see that you've created your god.
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life.
Whoa ohhohh, way to make a clear day.
Whoa ohhohh, way to bring your dreamer awake.
Are you open to suggestions?
My educated guess is no answer.
Got a simple yes or
know-ing that I'm right when you're left where you don't wanna be.
Wasting time blaming, not admitting that you're starting to see.
You're not getting off easy,
but you're barely getting along,
playing harder to get.
Still pretending that you're ending what shouldda never began.
Trying hard to prove me wrong, but I ain't seen nothing yet.
Listen up before the day is faded.
I got a really short story to tell.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Listen up before the day is faded.
I got a really short story to tell.
As anyone can see that you've created your god.
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life.
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life.
Too fulfilling, committing for a full go (x7).
Whoa ohhohh, way to make a clear day.
Whoa ohhohh, way to bring your dreamer awake.
Whoa ohhohh, way to make a clear day.
Whoa ohhohh, way to bring your dreamer awake.
Listen up before the day is faded.
I got a really short story to tell.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Keepin' time and an open mind.
Listen up before the day is faded.
I got a really short story to tell.

Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life.
Counting on hope, living for the night of your life.
Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life.

Counting on hope, pretending that you're someone you're not.

i guess this song is about living in the temporary moment...not really sure...but i love their play on words its really genius:
Are you open to suggestions? My educated guess is no answer. Got a simple yes or know-ing that I'm right when you're left where you don't wanna be.
good stuff.
this band sounds neat but every song is about a breaking up with his girlfriend and nothing about God. so much for the christian label
First off I love Capital lights and I love this song it's one of my favorites.
Secondly (directed at cheeseninja3) "Counting on hope, only living for the night of your life. As anyone can see that you've created your god." I think it's relatively obvious this song is about someone that rather have fun and sin then count on hope to get them to heaven even thought they know deep down that hope isn't enough as shown in the lines "Are you open to suggestions? My educated guess is no answer. Got a simple yes or know-ing that I'm right when you're left where you don't wanna be." The majority of "Christians" I know are like this and honestly because of that this song has just as much and probably more meaning to me than any song that specifically mentions God and it sounds awesome.
Thirdly (also directed at cheeseninja3) A christian band isn't defined a "Christian band" by just lyrics, you also have to take in consideration that they are all christian band members they don't swear or have any form of vulgar wording in their lyrics, they didn't use the christian label to become popular and they have decent meanings behind their music. If you ever read about Capital Lights you would know that they are making the music they want to make and if that's songs about breaking up with girlfriends then I say over and over again to keep doing it as long as they stay Christians and make some of the best music I have ever heard in my life.
I think this song is a God-centered song. No, it doesn't directly reference to Him, but still it brings in a lot of room for discussion to Christians. How much of your life are you living for God and how much are you living just to satisfy yourself? So many of us live day to day serving things that aren't God and then we lie to ourselves and pretend like we are when we're really serving the created. The name of the song says it all: living to have the time of your life is foolish; you never know if this night will be the last night of your life.
