Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say "I love you" enough
'Til it's too late--it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for the food that
won't come
And 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
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
This is all we got and we gotta start thinking that
Every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We've 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 goodbye
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
When we long for absolution,
There'll no one on the line, yeah
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
This is all we got and we gotta start thinking that
Every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We've 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've 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 'til it's gone
You never see a crash 'til it's head on
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
This is all we got and we gotta start thinking that
Every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We've 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've 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
