Come step inside lets take a ride
To the center of this hell
The edge and all that comes along
You're standing still not moving yet
The road can't wait for the sunset
It's open road, open seat, open chance
To catch the heat.
You'd like to think you've lived your life,
You've taken chances, skid your feet
Let the earths air gently breeze.
You think you know the consequences?
Want the truth, it's never ended!
You haven't lived until you've tried
To catch the stars from out the sky
Until you've been to mars or pluto
Or swam across the great lakes,
Adventured in the mountains
Until you've loved and learned to lose
To love again and stay so true,
You think you know just what to do?
You need to live, need to try
Jump out of planes and learn to fly!
Live a day, and love a lifetime
Until then, you don't know how
You can't live without even trying
So take a step outside
And look up to the skies
Count the clouds, the stars aligned
Kiss your love's most cherished eyes
And fall in love again again
Never give up living
Author notes
You haven't lived until you've reallllyyy lived
and loved of course.
