We go to bed thinking the sun gon' rise
We take for granted all our borrowed time
And put it off like we got so much life
But we don't, we don't
I wanna go out, take a different path
Take a chance and put it all on black
Try to make good on some dreams I have
I know, yeah, I know

Yeah, when I'm at Heaven's gate
God won't hear me say
"Wish I'd done what I didn't"
Some hearts running hot
some just killing time
Me, I'd rather die living
When all the dreaming's said and done
I look back down the road I've run
And I'll be sure I gave my all
Some hearts running hot
some just killing time
Some just spend their life wishing, but me
Me, I'd rather die living

I'd rather die living

Ever wonder what tomorrow's worth?
Live the day like it's your last on Earth
Take the pain and make it sing like church
I know, yeah, I know

Yeah, when I'm at Heaven's gate
God won't hear me say
"Wish I'd done what I didn't"
Some hearts running hot
some just killing time
Me, I'd rather die living
When all the dreaming's said and done
I look back down the road I've run
And I'll be sure I gave my all
Some hearts running hot
some just killing time
Some just spend their life wishing, but me
Me, I'd rather die living

I'd rather die living
Me, I'd rather die living

When all the dreaming's said and done
I look back down the road I've run
And I'll be sure I gave my all (I'd rather die living)
Some hearts running hot, some just killing time
Some just spend their life wishing, but me
Me, I'd rather die living
