[Verse 1]
You better live your life today
You might be gone tomorrow
Don't let it get away
I feel my father, he just gave up
But he never even gave it a real chance
And he lost his way now
I know some people, they just save up (savin’ up)
For a day that never comes, I wanna strive for something greater

[Pre-Chorus]
You could play it safe, yeah
Or you could take a shot in the dark, yeah
Cause you will never know until you try

[Chorus]
You better live your life today
You might be gone tomorrow
Don't let it get away
Before your sun begins to fade
Step out from the shade
Raise your hands and detonate

[Verse 2]
No I could never wait around (never wait around)
For some guys to come and sign my band
I got the fuck right out of town (out of town)
Through all the noise we made our own sound (made our own sound)
We brought our party to their door and we made them sing along
[Pre-Chorus]
You could play it safe, yeah
Or you could take a shot in the dark, yeah
Cause you will never know until you try (You gotta live it now)

[Chorus]
You better live your life today
You might be gone tomorrow
Don't let it get away
Before your sun begins to fade
Step out from the shade
Raise your hands and detonate

[Bridge]
I made a choice to open the door
I had to leave it on the floor
Head first in the dirt so I could shine (shine, shine, shine)

[Chorus]
You gotta live your life today
You might be gone tomorrow
Don’t let it get away
Before your sun begins to fade
Step out from the shade
Raise your hands and detonate
