Live a Little Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you feel the urgency?
Like a needle pulling out
Can you feel the urgency?
Doses of anxiety
We're just faces in the crowd
Doses of anxiety


[Bridge]
Are these the lies that we've been taught to believe?
Are these the lives that we have opted to lead?
Uh oh, uh oh


[Hook]
Staring at the clock
I hear each tick and tock
And they whisper that i've lost the race
But I won't fucking stop
I'll hold you by my side
I need you here tonight
Cause' if we're gonna' lose this thing
Then we're goin' out in style

[Verse 2]
Time replaced reality
Now we are peaking through the hours
Time replaced reality
So I grasp for sanity
I refuse to be devoured
So I grasp for sanity

[Bridge]
Are these the lies that we've been taught to believe?
Are these the lives that we have opted to lead?
Uh oh, uh oh

[Hook]
Staring at the clock
I hear each tick and tock
And they whisper that i've lost the race
But I won't fucking stop
I'll hold you by my side
I need you here tonight
Cause' if we're gonna' lose this thing
Then we're goin' out in style
Staring at the clock
I hear each tick and tock
And they whisper that i've lost the race
But I won't fucking stop
I'll hold you by my side
I need you here tonight
Cause' if we're gonna' lose this thing
Then we're goin' out in style
Staring at the clock
I hear each tick and tock
And they whisper that i've lost the race
But I won't fucking stop
I'll hold you by my side
I need you here tonight
Cause' if we're gonna' lose this thing
Then we're goin' out in style
