lyrics

Back when I was younger
(so much younger than I am today)
I thought time was on my side.
I never thought I'd live forever
but I can't say that I never let a moment pass me by.

Just try to find something that makes you feel alive.

Don't wait 'til it's already over.
Don't wait 'til it's already done.
Don't blink!
Don't wait for the right moment.
You'll open your eyes and realize it's already gone.

Hope that when I'm older
(so much older than I am today)
I'm proud of how I lived my life.
No, I don't want to live forever
(the ending makes a story better)
but I'm still scared to die.

Just try to find something that makes you feel alive.

Don't wait 'til it's already over.
Don't wait 'til it's already done.
Don't blink!
Don't wait for the right moment.
You'll open your eyes and realize it's already gone.
