Breaking in a sweat
Like a bomb threat
Is your silhouette fading out?
Nothing left to lose
Detonate the fuse
Another breaking news blowout

Ain’t it beautiful?
So unusual
Life’s a gas and it’s running out
Living a cliché
Gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets and celebrate

Carpe diem, a battle cry
Aren’t we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren’t we all too young to die?

Making a living
Making a killing
What’s worth forgiving?
Alright

A blink of an eye
Barely scraping by
Dominated by passersbys
Feeling out of luck
When the traffic’s stuck
And you’re feeling
So left behind

Getting off a binge
Get a second wind
Another promise
To make a change
Got a broken wing
Hear the angels sing
When the signal is out of range
Ain’t it strange?

Carpe diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Are we all too young to die?

Making a living
Making a killing
What’s worth forgiving?
Alright
