lyrics

She told him she'd rather fix her make-up
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cell phone gone

She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And I’m upside-down

Don't say so-long, you’re not so far gone
Don't spin today away
Cause today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is
Gone, like history is
Gone, just try and prove me
Wrong, and pretend like you're immortal

She said, he said “live like no tomorrow”
Every day we borrow brings us
One step closer to the edge of infinity

Where's your treasure? Where's your hope?
If you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like
She pretends like she's immortal

Don't say so-long, you’re not that far wrong
This could be your big chance to make-up,
Today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is
Gone, like history is
Gone, the world keeps spinning
On, you're going, going…

Gone, like summer break is
Gone, like Saturday is
Gone, just try and prove me
Wrong, and pretend like you're immortal

You're immortal?
You're immortal? ha

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We're so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decadence

Gone, like Frank Sinatra
Gone, like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Capone's cash
Nothing lasts in this life

Gone, my high school dreams are
Gone, my childhood sweethearts are
Gone, life is a day and it doesn't last for long

Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash
Life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills

We've got information in the information age,
But do we know what life is
Outside of our convenient Tesla cages?
She said, he said “live like no tomorrow”
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
To a God who's never been short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living, Life is still more that we are
