Livin' in this nightmare
Destroyin' my dreams
Hauntin' to myself
What regret keeps hunting
But can I change my ways
Of counting the days
That keep on fadin' away
I keep losing today
When it's gone
And the hourglass falls
Will I have more than regret to show for it all
Or will I wake up and start living my dreams
Instead of lettin' this nightmare take control of me

Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again

Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Stand up, do something with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life

You're bored, gotta wonder if there's more
Waiting for the dream life you thought you had in store.
Trying to feel something you can chase a life that's thrilla
Living on the edge drinking smoking dream killas.
Coulda been shoulda been woulda been…
what might your life have been
Today you're not a has-been, but at your life's end
will you have regrets than, have regrets than?
Are you ok with today if tomorrow is the end?

Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again

Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Stand up, do something with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life

We're all scared, gotta wonder what’s out there,
Shooting down the ones who did what we wish we dared
Everybody's scared to Karaoke in the open
Afraid we're not as special as what we might be hoping so we're frozen haven't chosen
just going through the motions
Faith and belief, courage overrule emotions
Stand up and be counted for something when it's time
Decide where you stand, take your hands raise em high

Live today through the futures lens
Don't wanna wish you could reset and play it again

Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Stand up, do something with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
