  • We're all kicking, we're all screaming
    We're all sleeping at the wheel
    We're all California dreaming
    Playing house and paying bills
    We're all going through the motions
    Just following the script
    If we don't stop and smell the ocean
    Boys, we might just miss our ship
    Every last heart breaks when the summer snapshot fades
    Every teenage kiss ends way too soon

    It don't matter how long we're here
    It's never gonna be long enough
    It ain't about the amount of years
    It's about the amount of love
    It don't matter if you're eighteen, forty-five or ninety-one
    We're all waiting for our moment in the sun
    Everybody dies young
    Oh yeah, everybody dies young

    From the moment that we're born
    Yeah, we start running out of sand
    You can't bargain with the mirror
    You can't ever fight the hands off
    Time flies by like the 4th of July sky
    When the morning sun high fives the moon

    It don't matter how long we're here
    It's never gonna be long enough
    It ain't about the amount of years
    It's about the amount of love
    It don't matter if you're eighteen, forty-five or ninety-one
    While we're here we're all having a little fun
    'Cause everybody dies young
    Oh yeah, everybody dies young

    You only get one life, so you gotta live it
    You only get one heart, so you better give it
    You only get one life, so you gotta live it up
    You only get one heart (one heart)
    So you gotta get to giving it up

    It don't matter how long we're here
    It's never gonna be long enough
    It ain't about the amount of years
    It's about the amount of love
    It don't matter if you're eighteen, forty-five or ninety-one
    No matter what we do, we're never done
    Everybody dies young
    Oh yeah, everybody dies young Writer/s: JOSH OSBORNE, ROSS COPPERMAN, SCOTT STEPAKOFF, SHANE MCANALLY
