live like we're dying lyrics

originally by The Script, covered by Kris Allen, love 'em!

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 too late, it's not too late

our hearts are hungry for the 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 you're 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
eighty six four hundred seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
gotta tell them 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 goodbye?
should be so careful who we let fall out our lives
so when we long for absolution
there'll be no one on the line

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