  • Everybody's got a first kiss
    But not everybody makes it last
    Everybody's got long list
    Of some, some day I'm gonna do that
    Whoa, but nobody needs time
    Till it runs out
    Oh, so why take a left
    When you can take a right now

    Everybody's got a future
    But not everybody makes it past
    Everybody's got a chance to take that some don't take
    Till it's too late to take it back
    Everybody's got a last breath
    But not everybody breathes it in
    Everybody dies
    But not everybody lives
    Not everybody lives

    A lesson can't be learned
    Unless there's a mistake
    And a heart can never love
    If it's too afraid to break
    Whoa, so don't plan on the minute hand slowing down
    Oh, no

    Everybody's got a future
    But not everybody makes it past
    Everybody's got a chance to take that some don't take
    Till it's too late to take it back
    Everybody's got a last breath
    But not everybody breathes it in
    Everybody dies
    But not everybody lives
    No, not everybody lives

    Some people run from all the bad times
    Till they run all out of good
    Some people know how to say I love you
    And some people wish they could

    Everybody's got a future
    But not everybody makes it past
    Everybody's got a chance to take that some don't take
    Till it's too late to take it back
    Everybody's got a last breath
    But not everybody breathes it in
    Everybody dies
    Everybody dies
    But not everybody lives Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
