Living Like It's Last

[Verse 1] The dawn strikes like a fallen mirror, throwing jagged beams of gold. And every breath inside my chest is sudden wealth to hold. No trading with the coming dawn, no bargaining with fate— The pendulum is swinging fast, and I refuse to wait. [Verse 2] I kick the heavy door wide open, swallow air that tastes like salt. No longer letting quiet doubts bring action to a halt. I drop the grudge I’ve carried round like stones inside my coat, And clear away the bitter pride that’s burning in my throat. [Pre-Chorus] I pull the ones I love right in, held tight in hard embrace. And memorize each contour of a familiar face. I say the words I used to save for some imagined year, I speak them strong, I speak them true, while both of us are here. [Chorus] No holding back No holding back I’m right here in the blaze I’m living like it’s last [Verse 3] I roll the windows down and let the wild engine roar. My hands gripped tight against the wheel, my foot flat to the floor. Through velvet dusk and cracked asphalt, where tires grip and groan, I take the long and winding path to drive my spirit home. [Verse 4] I laugh until my ribs are sore, I bleed for what is real. I trade the safety of the dark for everything I feel. I step right into shadows where I used to turn away, And burn through every single hour before it turns to gray. For time is not a bank account where interest quietly grows, It’s lightning stitched inside my veins before the curtain close. [Bridge] No holding back, no saving strength, no shadow left to cast— I’m standing right here in the blaze, and living like it’s last. [Chorus] No holding back No holding back I’m right here in the blaze I’m living like it’s last
