[Verse 1] We always think we got tomorrow Another call, another day Another chance to say “I love you” All the words we never say We get caught up chasing something While the years just pass us by But nothing here was made forever And we don’t get back the time [Pre-Chorus] So if you’ve got somebody you love Tell ‘em while they’re here If somebody’s fighting a battle Make sure they know you’re near [Chorus] Don’t wait until it’s too late Don’t wait ’til the moment is gone Hold on to the ones that you love ‘Cause one day we’ll all move on If you’ve got a dream, then chase it If you’ve got a heart, let it break Love like you don’t have forever Don’t wait until it’s too late [Verse 2] Sometimes the strongest people Are barely holding on They smile and say they’re doing fine While something inside is gone So call your brother, call your mother Call that friend you haven’t seen You never know what someone’s fighting Behind the things you see [Pre-Chorus] And if you’ve got a second chance Don’t throw that chance away You might not get another one So take the leap today [Chorus] Don’t wait until it’s too late Don’t wait ’til the moment is gone Hold on to the ones that you love ‘Cause one day we’ll all move on If you’ve got a dream, then chase it If you’ve got a heart, let it break Love like you don’t have forever Don’t wait until it’s too late [Bridge — stripped down] One day we’ll look at photographs Of people standing by our side And wonder how the years went by In what felt like a night So put your pride down Make that call now Say the words you’re scared to say Forgive somebody Hold somebody You aren’t promised one more day [Build] If you can help somebody — help ‘em If you can love somebody — love ‘em If there’s a road you’ve always wanted Take it while you still can run it If there’s a life you know you’re meant for Don’t spend your whole life being afraid We’re only passing through this world… [Final Chorus — huge harmonies] So don’t wait until it’s too late Don’t wait ’til the moment is gone Hold on to the ones that you love And tell ’em where they belong If you’ve got a dream, then chase it You’ve got one life — make it count Love like you don’t have forever While you’ve still got time right now Don’t wait for someday Don’t wait for someday ’Cause someday might never come Hold ’em a little bit closer Tell ’em you love ’em today Don’t wait… Until it’s too late. [Outro — quiet] We always think we got tomorrow… Until we don’t.
