Live Like We're Dying
Kris Allen

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


[Chorus:]

Yeah, gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given here

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day

To turn it all around or to 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


And if your plane fell out of the skies

Who would you call with your last goodbyes

Should be so careful who we left out of our lives

So when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line


Yeah, gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given here

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day

To turn it all around or to 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, ike we're dying


We only got 86 400 seconds in a day

To turn it all around or to 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


You never know a good thing until 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


Yeah, gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given here

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day

To turn it all around or to 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


We only got 86 400 seconds in a day

To turn it all around or to 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
