Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying

"Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin' If every second counts on a clock that's tickin' Gotta live like we're dying We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to Turn it all around or to throw it all away We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say Gotta live like we're dying"


I don't know how much time I have left on this earth, I've lived 20 long years and about six months. It's not like there's a clock on the wall that tells me how much longer I have left to live or a countdown floating above my head, like on the music video for some Nickleback song. How am I suppose to live like I'm dying, if I don't know how much time I have left? If I were to treat every second of the day that I'm going to end up dead within the next few seconds or minutes or hours or days or whatever. I definitely would NOT be spending the last few moments worrying about classes and school and the long unnecessary to do list. I would be out doing the most random crazy things. I'd spend a day trying to make a thousand cranes for good luck. I'd go travel to every single amusement park I could get to, ride all the rides at least twice and take a boat load of pictures. I'd spend an insane amount money just because I could. I'm gonna die in the end, so why not? I'd travel to Italy, France, Spain and England. There are a lot of things that I would do if I knew when my time is up. School and classes can go screw themselves if I'm gonna die soon. Why should I waste the precious time I have left sitting in a classroom? I would be wasting time to go out in the world and make the most of what it had to offer before I kicked the bucket. Totally wish I knew how much time I have left...
