[Verse 1] I count the cracks in the ceiling Like they count me back One day I’m a spark in the kitchen Next day I’m a photograph I don’t want fear in my pockets I don’t want it on my tongue But I look at the edge of the hour And I know I’m still young [Pre-Chorus] So I hold my breath Then let it go I feel the ground Beneath my toes If it ends, then it ends But right now I know [Chorus] Life is too precious Too precious to waste Life is too precious I want to taste every day When I remember the end I come back to this place Life is too precious Too precious to waste [Verse 2] I watch my mother fold the laundry Hear my brother laugh down the hall The small things shine like gold dust When the dark starts making calls I still get scared in the quiet Still my heart beats hard and fast But a morning cup, a clean blue sky Makes me want to let it last [Pre-Chorus] So I hold my breath Then let it go I feel the ground Beneath my toes If it ends, then it ends But right now I know [Chorus] Life is too precious Too precious to waste Life is too precious I want to taste every day When I remember the end I come back to this place Life is too precious Too precious to waste [Bridge] Maybe the clock is a teacher Not a blade at my door Maybe the ache in my chest Is a reason to love it more So I’ll step into the sunlight With my hands open wide I won’t let the shadow own me While I’m still on this ride [Final Chorus] Life is too precious Too precious to waste Life is too precious I want to taste every day When I remember the end I come back to this place Life is too precious Too precious to waste
