I can't stand by

And see you destroyed

I can't be here

And watch you burn up

Lie for the moment

And lie as a decoy

So does it matter

If I give in easy?

So why

Is it so hard to get by?



And I say

We so down

But it's now or never baby

We don't mind

If this don't last forever

See the light

But it won't last forever

Seize the time

Cause it's now or never baby



Let's leave at sunrise

Let's live by the ocean

I don't mind

If we never come home at all

Steal the morning

So set in motion

In and out of love

And institutions

Cause I know

This can't last for long



And I say

We so down

But it's now or never baby

We don't mind

If this don't last forever

See the light

But it won't last forever

Seize the time

Cause it's now or never baby



So why

Is it so hard to get by?

And I say...



We so down

But this can't last forever

We don't mind

Cause it's now or never baby
