Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been feelin' it's time to move
I've been feelin'... it's way too soon
I've been feelin' it's time to move
I've been feelin'
Time to breathe in, just forge ahead
Time to live it, don't die before you're dead
Time to breathe in, just forge ahead
Don't die before you're dead
Don't die before you're dead
Don't die before you're dead
You can see it, just walk the streets
People racing to their own things
And I've been feelin'.. it's time to move
I've been feelin'... it's not too soon
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Time to breathe in, just forge ahead
Time to live it, don't die before you're dead
Time to breathe in, just forge ahead
Time to live it, don't die before you're dead
Don't die before you're dead
Don't die before you're dead
Don't die before you're dead
Come and feel it, you are complete
Come and feel it, you're all you need
Sometimes it falls out of your head
Don't... die before you're dead
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
