Lyrics
I’m Counting all the days that
I am keeping track of the passing days
Went wasted waiting on some sign
Time was wasted as I waited for a sign
To fall right down on me
Hoping for something to happen to me
And tell me who I gotta be
Seeking guidance on who I should become
Diving off the deep end every weekend
Engaging in risky behavior every weekend
Trying to get that high
Attempting to attain a euphoric state
But only I could be the one to go and set me free
Realizing that only I can free myself
We spend all our lives just trying to learn that all we have is time
We spend our lives learning that time is valuable
But it’s never too late to live your life for today
Emphasizing that it's never too late to live in the present
'Cause we’re only a heartbeat away
We are close to opportunities; don't be hesitant
And you can’t be afraid
Don't fear taking risks
To discover your fate
Explore and understand your destiny
'Cause we’re only a heartbeat
We are on the verge of something significant
A heartbeat away
Highlighting the proximity of a crucial moment
Thinking of the ways that
Reflecting on how time could have been better spent
I could have made a better use of my time
Regretting choices and missed opportunities
When all I did was hide
Admitting to hiding and avoiding inner thoughts
And cower from the thoughts inside
Fearfully avoiding self-reflection
Now I’m growing older, and getting sober
Maturing and becoming sober
I think it’s time to fight
Realizing it's time to confront challenges
For who I want to be,
Deciding to fight for one's identity
It’s time to face reality
Acknowledging the need to face reality
We spend all our lives just trying to learn that all we have is time
Reiterating the lesson that time is precious
But it’s never too late to live your life for today
Encouraging living in the present moment
'Cause we’re only a heartbeat away
Emphasizing the closeness of opportunities
And you can’t be afraid
Stressing the importance of overcoming fear
To discover your fate
Encouraging exploration of destiny
'Cause we’re only a heartbeat
Reiterating the proximity of a crucial moment
A heartbeat away
Highlighting the imminent opportunity
A heartbeat away
Expressing the significance of the moment
I’ve wasted so many chances
Acknowledging missed chances and opportunities
So many opportunities
Regretting the loss of numerous opportunities
They’ve slipped right through my fingers
Letting valuable opportunities slip away
Now I’m fallin' on my knees
Facing a difficult situation on one's knees
And I’m so far
Feeling distant from desired goals
Oh so very far
Emphasizing the significant distance
From where I want to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state
And you can’t be afraid to discover your fate
Stressing the importance of facing destiny
Cause we’re only a heartbeat away
We are very close to a crucial moment
But it’s never too late to live your life for today
Underlining the perpetual opportunity to live in the present
'Cause we’re only a heartbeat away
Reiterating the proximity of significant moments
And you can’t be afraid
Emphasizing the need to overcome fear
To discover your fate
Encouraging exploration of destiny
'Cause we’re only a heartbeat
Highlighting the closeness of a crucial moment
A heartbeat away
Emphasizing the imminent opportunity
A heartbeat away
Expressing the significance of the moment
A heartbeat away
Stressing the importance of the current moment
