Artist: Kris Allen
Title: Live Like We’re Dying
Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
fall down: 失败 get back up:【振作起来】
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
hide: 躲藏 skin: 皮肤 tough: 困难的
How come we don’t say I love you enough
Till it’s too late, it’s not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
feast: 筵席，宴会 crumb: 面包屑【剩余的少许东西】
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
stare: 盯着看，凝视 barrel: 一桶
So if your life flashed before you
flash: 闪现
What would you wish you would’ve done
Yeah… gotta start
gotta: 必须（等于have got to）
Looking at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinking it
Every second counts on a clock that’s ticking
second: 秒 tick: 发出滴答声
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
turn around: 改变，逆转 throw away: 扔掉，丢弃
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say,
chance: 机会
Gotta live like we’re dying
Well if your plane fell out of the skies
fall out of: 从…跌落(或滑落)下来，从…掉落下来
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
live out of life:【活出生活的精彩】
So when we long for absolution, there’ll be no one on the line
long for: 希望 absolution: 赦免 on the line: 处于危险状况
Yeah we gotta start looking at the hand of
The time we’ve been given here
This all we got and we gotta start thinking it
Every second count on a clock that’s ticking
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell them that
We love them while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
You never know a good thing until it’s gone
you never see a crash until its head on
crash: 崩溃 head on: meeting front to front
All these people right when we’re dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it’s gone
Yeah we gotta start looking at
The hand of the time we’ve been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinking it
Every second count on a clock that’s ticking
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
