Live Like You're Dying Lyrics
One of these days you'll be
Under the covers you'll be
Under the table and you'll realize
All of your days are numbered;
All of them one to one hundred.
All of them millions.
All of them trillions.
So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for more.
No no
[Chorus 1]
Take every moment, you know that you own them.
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you.
Give me a reason
To fight the feeling
That there's nothing here for me.
Cause none of it's easy,
I know it wasn't meant to be.
I know it's all up to me [Repeat: x2]
So what am I gonna do with my time?
[Chorus 2]
I'll take every moment, I know that I own them.
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose.
[Chorus 3]
Live like you're dying and never stop trying.
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you.
All of the moments you didn't notice,
Gone in the blink of an eye.
All of the feelings you couldn't feel
No matter how you try.
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 3: x2]
Under the covers you'll be
Under the table and you'll realize
All of your days are numbered;
All of them one to one hundred.
All of them millions.
All of them trillions.
So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for more.
No no
Take every moment, you know that you own them.
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you.
To fight the feeling
That there's nothing here for me.
Cause none of it's easy,
I know it wasn't meant to be.
I know it's all up to me [Repeat: x2]
So what am I gonna do with my time?
I'll take every moment, I know that I own them.
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose.
Live like you're dying and never stop trying.
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you.
Gone in the blink of an eye.
All of the feelings you couldn't feel
No matter how you try.
