Live Like We're Dying

Sun fades away
Shadows fill my mind
If the world ends today
What would I leave behind

My father showed me
Take every chance
Life is like water
That slips through your hands
My momma told me
Make your own fate
Write your own story
It's never too late

Before it all turns to dust
Before there's nothing left of us
Let's burn like a fire and
Live like we're dying
Before it all fades away
And only memories remain
Let's aim even higher
And live like we're dying oh
Live like we're dying oh

Looking for a sign
On this lonely road, yeah
I've been driving blind
Into the unknown

My father showed me
Take every chance
Life is like water
That slips through your hands
My momma told me
Make your own fate
Write your own story
It's never too late

Before it all turns to dust
Before there's nothing left of us
Let's burn like a fire and
Live like we're dying
Before it all fades away
And only memories remain
Let's aim even higher
And live like we're dying oh
Live like we're dying oh

And where tomorrow's headed
We can never tell
Life is a blank page
So write your story well
And when I look back
After all these years
I can say to myself that I lived

Before it all turns to dust
Before there's nothing left of us
Let's burn like a fire and
Live like we're dying
Before it all fades away
And only memories remain
Let's aim even higher
And live like we're dying oh
Live like we're dying oh
