I was a little boy of nine years old
The whole world in my hands
Tryin’ to toss that ball across the yard
A game of catch with my old man
He would always say, “I’m sorry”
Every time he had to leave
And I was much to young to understand
When he would say to me
[Chorus]
When you’re young you always think
The sun is gonna shine
There’ll come a day
You’ll have to say hello to goodbye
Sit down, son, come take my hand
Look me in the eye
Take these words, promise me
You’ll live before you die
[Verse 2]
I was barely seventeen, summer of seven-nine
Already, I was feelin’ like I was runnin’ out of time
I had this girl, we fell in love
Should I say that she had me?
Then one fateful night, it changed our lives
And made a memory
[Chorus]
When you’re young you always think
The sun is gonna shine
There’ll come a day
You’ll have to say hello to goodbye
She laid me down, she took my hand
Looked me in the eye
And just before she kissed me, she said
“We’ve gotta live before we die”
Live before we die
[Post-Chorus]
You learn to love, to live
You fight and you forgive
You learn what’s wrong and right
Live before you die
[Bridge]
I made mistakes, I caught some breaks
But I’ve got not regrets
There’s some things I don’t remember
But one thing I don’t forget
[Chorus]
When you’re young you always think
The sun is gonna shine
One day you’re gonna have to say hello to goodbye
Shout it out, let someone somewhere
Know you’re alive
Take these words, wear ’em well
Live before you die
Live before you die
Hey
Live before you die
[Post-Chorus]
You learn to love, to live
You fight and you forgive
You face the darkest night
Just live before you die
