If Today Was Your Last Day? Lyrics
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?

Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love

Love these lyrics. This song hits home really hard for me. Its pretty straightforward tho...make the most of what's given to you and let nothing stand in the way of your hopes and dreams. Good message
Agreed.... Straightforward might be better in this instance.... Just concidering that if it wasn't, it might not make the impression that it does. Just saying.

Rediscovered this song. The uplifting message is hardly original but who cares. It's moving and so well done I'll be obsessing for a while. Haters? Really? Get a clue.
IMO this song is meant to open your mind. you could die tomoro for all you know. live your life your way. make friends. forgive enemies. take a chance. dont let anyone tell you what to do. always live. find your one and only. do it all today incase you cant tomorrow. this song makes me realize that even tho my life is hell right now i can ALWAYS change that by living it to the fullest. it makes me glad to have a wonderful gf to be there with me <3 mk
i could've sworn that it said "leave old bitches in the past" but i guess i am wrong...
haha! it does sound like that!

I thought he said that as well. He emphasizes the first consonant too much. Why would you do that if the word was just pictures?

dear nirvanadude, what the hell does that mean "freakin canadians and their picture prononciations?!?!" wtf? what about other countries that can't even spell "Canadians". IT'S AN A NOT A FREAKIN E!C-A-N-A-D-I-A-N-S. do you think Chad Kroeger just purposly mispronoces the word because he's from CANADA, or the fact that he just slurs his words?

The part I don't understand is the "leave old pictures in the past" Can someone please explain that part.
Other than that, lovers this song!
It means accepting the past so you can live for today.

leave old pictures in the past i think refers to concentrating on the life ahead and not dwelling on past experience

Still, don't commit suicide because of Nickelback. I know they're pretty awful but you're not on your own.

what does against the grain should be teh way of life mean?
well going with the grain is a term to say go with the flow, following the grain, if that makes sense. what they are trying to say is go againest the grain do what you want, dont follow someone or something else, do something for yourself your own way.

This song sends out an important message that LIFE IS TOO SHORT, and what would you do if you knew you wouldn't be here tommorrow ......
Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past
We are sometimes afraid of living life to the full, because of what other people think, or they wouldn't approve or you're too scared of asking that special someone out... or saying i Love you. We shouldn't take the people in our lives for granted because the reality is one day they won't be there anymore and all we will be left with is memories of what if? Live life to fullest like today was your last day and dont be afraid to get out there and achieve your dreams!! DOn't forget about the old friends as well as the knew, and dont linger on hatred and jealousy, be happy for who you are and what you stand for!!
simply amazing
