To Live and Die Lyrics

A thousand miles from home
A million more to go
I can't keep my eyes open tonight
But at least I tried
Watch it all fly by
The best years of our lives
We never stood a chance
But I guess we knew it all along

I got a lot to say
But I can't make a sound
One day I'll fade away
Buried underground
I got a lot to say
But I can't make a sound
One day I'll fade away
Buried underground

This is the life we lead
Like sailors lost at sea
Signed up for this
To go down with the ship
So hold your breath
Waiting for the end
Don't expect you to understand
Cross my heart and hope
I'm not the only one to die alone

Is this what you expected
From the lessons
You never got to learn?
It's hard to imagine
The better it gets
The more it starts to hurt

I got a lot to say
But I can't make a sound
One day I'll fade away
Buried underground
I got a lot to say
But I can't make a sound
One day I'll fade away
Buried underground
I got a lot to say
But I can't make a sound
One day I'll fade away
Buried underground

A thousand miles from home 
A million more to go
I can't keep my eyes open tonight 
But at least I tried
Watch it all fly by 
The best years of our lives
We never stood a chance
But I guess we knew it all along

I got a lot to say 
But I can't make a sound 
One day I'll fade away 
Buried underground 
I got a lot to say 
But I can't make a sound 
One day I'll fade away 
Buried underground

This is the life we lead 
Like sailors lost at sea 
Signed up for this 
To go down with the ship 
So hold your breath 
Waiting for the end 
Don't expect you to understand
Cross my heart and hope 
I'm not the only one to die alone

Is this what you expected 
From the lessons 
You never got to learn?
It's hard to imagine 
The better it gets 
The more it starts to hurt

I got a lot to say 
But I can't make a sound 
One day I'll fade away 
Buried underground
I got a lot to say 
But I can't make a sound 
One day I'll fade away 
Buried underground
I got a lot to say 
But I can't make a sound 
One day I'll fade away 
Buried underground

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
