[Verse 1]
If we found out that the world was going to end on Tuesday morning
What everybody do? Mmm yeah
It's funny how the thought of that can make some things real important
And a lot of things seem pretty worthless too

[Chorus 1]
But I'd be dancing like a fool
And I'd be laughing, I'd be crying
Calling anybody who I've ever hurt and reconcile
And I'd call everyone I love
Say what I was scared to say to them
Now that I think about it: maybe I should always live like the world is going to end
Live like the world is going to end, yeah

[Verse 2]
I'd hit all my favorite restaurants; they'd be open for business
Would not care what people thought, yeah, mmm
And I'd speak love to anybody who came close enough to listen
And if somebody done me wrong, I'd call and tell them I forgot

[Chorus 1]
And then I'd be dancing like a fool
And I'd be laughing, I'd be crying
Calling anybody who I've ever hurt and reconcile
And I'd call everyone I love
Say what I was scared to say to them
Now that I think about it: maybe I should always live like the world is going to end
Oh yeah, oh oh
[Bridge]
We spend most our lives
And almost all our time on what we don't care about, what we could do without
Every tragedy, is that we can't see it
We can't see it until time is running out

[Chorus 2]
Cause I'd be dancing like a fool
I'd eat ice cream every morning
I'd call up everyone I love and drive them out to California
And we'd say the things that we've been scared to death to say till then
Now that I think about it: maybe we should always live like the world is going to end
Live like the world is going to end

[Outro]
Live like the world
Live like, live like
Live like the world is going to end
