Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I maybe think I've been spending way too much time looking at TV
When the screens are off all I do is stare at the ceiling, ceiling, ceiling
What is about my myself that makes me just wanna hide
I realize I'm barely alive
And the face in the mirror just keeps on staring me down
Telling me
Start living
Before it slips away
Start living
You've only got today
You gotta reach up to go higher
Don't be afraid
Walk through the fire
Start living
Living
So I guess I should start look at making some changes
Stop being afraid and start turning the pages
Maybe I could find my way if I step into the light
I wish that I
Did more than survive
And the face in the mirror just keeps staring me down
Telling me
Start living
Before it slips away
Start living
You've only got today
You gotta reach up to go higher
Don't be afraid
Walk through the fire
Start living
Living
Start living
Living
Start living
Once in a lifetime you get a chance to live
And it's gone, gone, gone
Start living
Before it slips away
Start living
You've only got today
You gotta reach up to go higher
Don't be afraid
Walk through the fire
Start living
Living
