[Verse 1] Missed my ride Spilled my drink Scrolling through a cracked-up screen Same old room Same old sink Same old half-forgotten dream Clock keeps cutting off my days Little pieces on the floor Every second slips away More than all the years before [Pre-Chorus] So what am I saving this feeling for? Dust on the plans by the bedroom door [Chorus] Life’s getting shorter by the moment Better live it before it’s over (before it’s over) I’m done pretending I can own it I’ll just hold it a little closer (little closer) Breathe it in Let it burn my lungs Sing too loud like I’m still young Life’s getting shorter by the moment Better live it before it’s over [Verse 2] Text my friends at 2 a.m “Let’s get lost and call it found” Drive till every streetlight ends Chase the dark around this town Say the words I always hide Tell you what you mean to me Tired heart Open wide Risk it all and call it free [Pre-Chorus] What are we waiting at the red light for? We’ve been stuck here Now I want more [Chorus] Life’s getting shorter by the moment Better live it before it’s over (hey!) I’m done pretending I can own it I’ll just hold it a little closer (little closer) Breathe it in Let it shake my bones Dance like these shoes are made of gold Life’s getting shorter by the moment Better live it before it’s over [Bridge] I don’t want a someday story I want dirt on my hands Some glory If this is all we ever get Let’s make a promise we won’t forget (oh) [Chorus] Life’s getting shorter by the moment Better live it before it’s over (before it’s over) I’m done pretending I can own it I’ll just hold it a little closer (little closer) Breathe it in Let it burn my lungs Sing too loud like I’m still young Life’s getting shorter by the moment Better live it before it’s over (over) Better live it before it’s over
