Song Description

Song about a man looking at his life and yearning for more. And then he realizes that life gives you back what you put into it.

Lyrics

Dying to Live

It seems my lifes become a string
Of one night stands, late nights, and lonely mornings
And I just smoked my first cigarette
Despite all of the sergeon general's warnings

Well the comp'ny that I keep
Seems to be any comp'ny I can find
And I throw the rest of the pack away
'Cause I don't want to be that guy
That says he can quit at anytime


CHORUS
Well its just another part of living to die
And dying to live
Hold on tight, learn to be yourself, and
Give all you can give


There's a girl who knows she's beautiful
I tell her every time we see each other
And I wish I had the courage to pick up the phone
And tell her that I'll treat her like no other

She will never know
Of all the songs that I've made about her
So I put the telephone back down
And tell myself
I'll be just fine without her


CHORUS


What if every myth you've ever known was true,
And you would never be alone
What if all that you desire could be yours
And you'd be satisfied to the marrow of your bones

Would you lose all compassion for the things that you know matter most?
Or would you fill your self with gratitude, and take until you've almost overdosed?

CHORUS
