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 to 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

Yeah… gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin 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 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 live out our lives
so when we long for absolution
there’ll no one on the line

Yeah… gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin 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 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 [x2]

We only got
86 400 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

We never know a good thing till it’s gone
you never see a crash until it’s head on
all those people right when we’re dead wrong
you never know a good thing till it’s gone

Yeah… gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start livin 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 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 [x2]

We only got
86 400 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

    I cannot stop listening to this song. I am english and had never seen nor heard this man sing before, but now i think he is incredible and the lyrics are so meaningful. You could make a song like this really depressing and dark but he makes it sound so lovely and happy. After all, it is not how many breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away. :)
