I'm not here for a long goodbye
Time's a' movin' on
And I'm rollin' down the line

I couldn't tell if it was day or night
But I'll ignite my light, tonight
Because our...

Life was not made for wasting
We are not burning out
Life was not made for wasting time
So don't you go burning out

Takin' on it all with a foolish pride
The little white lie that just keeps me riding high
I'm not walkin' with the dead tonight
I will not be on the other side
Say you want it and take too long
Like a smooth operator talks on and on and on
I see where you're coming from is wrong
And we can't wait till' it all is gone 'cos...

Don't lay down and die
I will save your life

Carrying on but it's no smooth ride
Standing on the edge
Of what is yours and mine
We'll get it right

Take it on-hey!
Keep it up-yeah!
Carry on-hey!
Shake it up-yeah!
Call to me-hey!
Shout it out-yeah!
Give me one sign to know your there...

So turn around now
We can get it right
It cuts like a knife
But I swear I will save your life
