Cover art for When We Die lyrics by Bowling for Soup

to me this song is about being able to start over, we all made mistakes but we have to try to get past them even if they were a long time ago and they hurt as bad now as they did then, because time continues to go one and none of us are going to live forever, and even when we die we may not get the chance to say "im sorry, i love you, please forgive me"
