We Are
Big Time Rush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thinking, we don't want to get caught up in over thinking
We only got tonight
Moments, we gotta keep on living for these moments,
'Cause this is our time

Life's too short to sit and wait
For love to come our way
Light it up like fireworks
I wanna hear you say

We are we are

We are alive, and we have the light shining down
We are we are, we are the reckless
You can hear us drowning of the sound
We are we are, young and dumb
Always chasing something
We are we are, hearts like drums
You can hear us coming
We are we are

Chances, you know there's nothing wrong with taking chances
We put it on the line
Oh, someday I know we're gonna be somebody someday
Only gotta try

Life's too short to sit and wait
For love to come our way
Light it up like fireworks
I wanna hear you say

We are alive, and we have the light shining down
We are we are, we are the reckless
You can hear us drowning of the sound
We are we are, young and dumb
Always chasing something
We are we are, hearts like drums
You can hear us coming
We are we are

We are alive, and we have the light shining down
We are we are, we are the reckless
You can hear us drowning of the sound
We are we are, young and dumb
Always chasing something
We are we are, hearts like drums




You can hear us coming
We are we are

@bobbywalker.1009

I keep on watching Big Time Rush episodes on On Demand, listening to their old music, and I always check to see if they have reunited yet, or if there's any announcement saying that they are going to come back.
I then think about the years from 2009 to 2013, where life was pretty much simple.
I used to always watch Big Time Rush and listen to their music.
I felt safe. I felt confident.
In 2009, I was in first grade.
I loved them so much.
And now that I'm going into high school, it actually terrifies me that I won't have a band like them to make me feel safe and confident.
I need this band to come back.
Come back. Please.

9 years later and this song still makes me cry, knowing it would be their last song together for a while
