  • There she goes in front of me
    Take my life and set me free again
    We'll make a memory out of it
    Holy road is at my back
    Don't look on, take me back again
    We'll make a memory out of it

    We finally fall apart and we break each other's hearts
    If we wanna live young, love, we better start today

    It's gotta get easier, oh easier somehow
    'Cause I'm falling, I'm falling
    Oh easier and easier somehow
    Oh I'm calling, I'm calling
    And it isn't over, unless it is over
    I don't wanna wait for that
    It's gotta get easier and easier somehow
    But not today
    Not today

    There she goes in front of me
    Take my life, set me free again
    We'll make a memory out of it
    Holy road was at my back
    Don't look on, take me back again
    We'll make a memory out of it

    We finally fall apart and we break each other's hearts
    If we wanna live young, love, we better start today

    It's gotta get easier, oh easier somehow
    'Cause I'm falling, I'm falling
    Oh easier and easier somehow
    Oh I'm calling, I'm calling
    And it isn't over, unless it is over
    I don't wanna wait for that
    It's gotta get easier and easier

    So come with me
    You'll come with me, eh eh eh
    So come with me
    You'll come with me, eh eh eh
    Not today
    Not today
    Not today
    Not today

    It's gotta get easier and easier somehow
    'Cause I'm falling, I'm falling
    And easier and easier somehow
    Oh I'm calling and calling
    And it isn't over unless it is over
    I don't wanna wait for that
    It's gotta get easier and easier somehow
    It's gotta get easier and easier somehow
    Not today
    Not today
    Not today
    Not today

  • Tracy Colmar from LondonI watched the film a while back and have seen it a few times since, always makes me cry, but the song didn't really have an impact on me until last year when my lovely husband John died suddenly from cancer. As the lyrics say it will get easier but not today and that is how I still feel 8 months along the line. We have celebrated fathers day, his birthday, my son and daughters birthday without him and Christmas. The latest things to happen will be Valentines Day and my birthday. The day he died I lost my best friend and my children lost their dad. So I can definitely relate to this.
  • Blackpearl from NigeriaThe movie is heartbreakingly sad
  • Anonymous from IndiaThe movie broke my heart
  • Dorothy from Henderson, NevadaObsessed with this song, so great.. love imagine dragons.. will is so selfless wanting to leave something lasting to Lou. How humbling.. memorable movie.
