Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying lyrics

rate me

Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up<br />

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough<br />

How come we don't say I love you enough<br />

Till it's too late, it's not too late<br />

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come<br />

We could make a feast from these crumbs<br />

And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun<br />

So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

Yeah, gotta start<br />

Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here<br />

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it<br />

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'<br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day<br />

To turn it all around or throw it all away<br />

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say, <br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

<br />

And if you plane fell out of the skies<br />

Who would you call with your last goodbyes<br />

Should be so careful who we live out of our lives<br />

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

<br />

Yeah, gotta start<br />

Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here<br />

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it<br />

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'<br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day<br />

To turn it all around or throw it all away<br />

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say, <br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

<br />

Like we're dying<br />

Like we're dying<br />

Like we're dying<br />

Like we're dying<br />

<br />

Yeah, gotta start<br />

Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here<br />

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it<br />

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'<br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day<br />

To turn it all around or throw it all away<br />

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say, <br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

<br />

You never know a good thing until it's gone<br />

You never see a crash until it's head on<br />

All these people right when we're dead wrong, <br />

You never know a good thing till it's gone<br />

<br />

Yeah, gotta start<br />

Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here<br />

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it<br />

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'<br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day<br />

To turn it all around or throw it all away<br />

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say, <br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

<br />

Like we're dying<br />

Like we're dying<br />

Like we're dying<br />

Like we're dying<br />

<br />

Yeah, gotta start<br />

Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here<br />

This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it<br />

Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'<br />

Gotta live like we're dying<br />

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day<br />

To turn it all around or throw it all away<br />

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say, <br />

Gotta live like we're dying
