live while we're young

save a place at the table

for your daughter and son

we'll be out on that highway

fading quick like the sun

don't you stay up late waiting

oh we've only begun

yeah we've only begun

and make no mistake

we'll live while we're young

we'll chase down the sun

hands off the brake

we can die when we're done

let's live while we're young

live while we're young

ooh. got my hand on my bible

hold it firm like a gun

while you pray for revival

i'm already livin' in one

i won't pass up on the danger

i'd miss out on the fun

won't miss out on the fun

make no mistake

we'll live while we're young

we'll chase down the sun

hands off the brake

oh

we can die when we're done

let's live while we're young

let's live while we're young

ooh. you can barricade these walls and seek surrender

we'll taunt enough to turn a raging sea

but the only way you'll find to quench these embers

is killin' me

killin' me

killin' me

oh let the stages burn

and the cheers turn into scowls

oh and if the glory of the past is all i ever see

oh still the only way you'll find to quench these embers

is killin' me

is killin' me

is killin' me

make no mistake

we'll live while we're young

we'll chase down the sun

hands off the brake

we can die when we're done

let's live while we're young

live while we're young

we can barricade these walls and seek surrender

taunt enough to turn a raging sea

the only way you'll find to quench these embers

it's killin' me
