Spent a lifetime building ladders to the stars
Must've tripped and lost my balance between Jupiter and Mars
Met a friendly meteor beside the moon
Said to be yourself and watch the stars come down to you

I can't wait for the next time
I gotta get up and go
I gotta use it when it feels right
Or else I'm never gonna know

I can't live forever
These bones don't stand a chance

Time's a thief that comes to steal away our dreams
Sometimes objects in our minds may appear closer than they seem
Back and forth just like a train upon a track
Better slow down; running too fast could give you a heart attack

I wanna listen to the music
I wanna get up and dance
What's a choice if you don't make it?
Every minute is a chance

I can't live forever
These bones don't stand a chance
I can't live forever
I'm gonna live each day like it's my last chance
(I can't live for–, I can't live forever)
I can't live for, I can't live, I can't live (I can't live for–, I can't live forever)

And all my life
I have held it in my mind
When all my life I could have held it in my hands, oh
All this time, I have waited for a sign
This is the final time
No more waiting, it's mine

I can't live forever
These bones don't stand a chance
I can't live forever
These bones don't stand a chance

I can't live forever
These bones don't stand a chance
I can't live forever
I'm gonna live each day like it's my last chance

I can't live forever (I can't live)
I can't live forever (I can't live, I can't live)
I wanna listen to the music
I wanna get up and dance
