No? Um.....yah. Anyways....this is that song. I can't help but jam out to it. It's so much fun to sing along to; kind of boppy and loud guitarish.
So, this song talks about how we waste time, thinking that tomorrow we can change or next time, instead of living for today. I think about how often we do this when we are angry, stressed, worried, making wrong choices. We are wasting the time that God gave us to do bigger and better things...like living for Him.
"She said he said live like no tomorrow. Every day we borrow brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)."
I am a planner. In fact, I call myself the Master Planner. I like everything planned out; neat, organized, on multiple calendars. I plan out talking points, conversations. I practice them in the mirror to make sure my facial expressions are correct. I have timelines I like to follow. I want time to be on my side and everything in its place.
Well, that is how I used to be. Yesterday is gone. History is gone. It's all...gone.
I pretended like I was immortal, that nothing was going to go wrong. I had it all...planned out.
"She told him that she believes in living bigger than she's living now. But her world keeps spinning backwards and upside down."
I tried to live a "larger than" life. Go big or go home, right? But everything was flipped upside down and look, things are not going to be the same as they were before. The new normal, remember? I keep trying to throw the timeline back into the game and have everything planned out. By March, we'll be doing this. By June, I'll be doing this. By Christmas, this is what life will look like.
"We're so confident in our accomplishments. Look at our decadence."
I was so confident in what I was, who I was that I didn't see the missteps until it was too late. My own personal grandeur was blinding me. And it keeps shining in my eyes like the sun reflecting off a mirror.
Cassandra, things cannot go back to the way they were. These things are gone. Like Saturday is gone. You cannot plan out your life anymore. You cannot have a timeline of what you think life should feel like, look like, taste like. Stop spending today away, thinking about what could be or what should have been.
"Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked, life is still worth living."
Just because life isn't the way it was before doesn't mean that it's over. I don't need to throw in the towel or say screw this. I don't need to give into temptation and do what I want. I don't need to waste more time on what was. I need to spend today living. Trying. Loving. Learning. Growing. Shining. God is using me and growing me in ways I would have never dreamed. And just think....it's only going to get better. Sure, it might not be "better" for a while, but it will if I keep my toes pointed in the right direction.
"Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills."
Yep. It is. And I'm out to get it before it's gone.
She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cellphone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upsidedown
Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong
Don't spend today away
Cuz today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is
Gone, just trying to 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 (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 gone
This could be your big chance to makeup
Today will soon be
Gone, like yeterday is gone,
Like history is gone,
The world keeps spinning on,
Your going going gone,
Like summer break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like your immortal your immortal
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
Like Elvis and his mom
Like AL Pacino's cash nothing lasts in this life
My highschool dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that 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's more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings
End up in wills we got information in the information age
But do we know what life is
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow
Brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono i'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is still worth living
