If every second counts

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

How come we don't say I love you enough

Till it's to late, it's not too late

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say

And if your plane fell out of the skies

Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we live out our lives

So when we long for absolution,

There'll no one on the line, yeah

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
