Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If you could see your seconds in an hourglass
If you could see the minutes of a life you had
Would you run and would you try
To win it back?
If you can see a future in a photograph
If you could see the light that you wish you had
Could you be strong and carry on
With what you have?
Why we wasting life?
Should be chasing life
If we're breathing for the very last time
I don't wanna hold on to goodbyes
If there's no tomorrow
You better make it last tonight
If we're standing when the walls come down
If we make it 'til the final round
If we're here tomorrow
We'll live it better than we did last night
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If you were on your knees, would you take a stand?
If you were in deep, would you take my hand?
Could you lie and lose your pride
To live again?
If you could wake up and see through yourself
Could you find a room to blame someone else?
Could you change in just a day
And cry for help?
Why we wasting life?
Should be chasing life
If we're breathing for the very last time
I don't wanna hold on to goodbyes
If there's no tomorrow
You better make it last tonight
If we're standing when the walls come down
If we make it 'til the final round
If we're here tomorrow
We'll live it better than we did last night
'Cause you're not alone, no, you're not alone
We've all been wasting time
No, it's not too late for us to make it right
But we still have today
If we're breathing for the very last time
I don't wanna hold on to goodbyes
If there's no tomorrow
You better make it last tonight
If we're standing when the walls come down
If we make it 'til the final round
If we're here tomorrow
We'll live it better than we did last night
