Kris Allen Lyrics

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,
Till it's too late, it's not too late.

Our hearts are hungry for a 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.

[CHORUS]

Yeah we gotta start,
Lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given here,
This is all we got and we gotta stop 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,
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em,
While we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying.

If your plane fell out of the skies,
Who would you call with your last goodbye,
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.

[CHORUS]

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 to throw it all away,
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 till it's gone,
You never see a crash till it's head on,
Oh everything were right when we're dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it's gone.

[CHORUS]

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 to throw it all away,
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em,
While we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying..
