Live Like Were Dying by The Script Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's too late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would've done
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
[Chorus]
Yeah, we got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
[Verse 2]
And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we let out of our lives
Cause when we long for absolution
There'll be no one on the line
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' if
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
[Chorus]
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
[Chorus]
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
[Bridge]
You never know a good thing till it's gone
You never see a crash until it's head on
All these people right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' if
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
[Chorus]
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh
Like we're dying
[Chorus]
We only got 86400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Live like we're dying
Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's too late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would've done
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
[Chorus]
