Seize Of The Day
Cosmic Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything you own is more or less borrowed,
When it comes to the point and there's no tomorrow,
And everything you own is more or less borrowed,
Will you be walking in my shoes,
Will you be walking in my shoes,
And seize the day,
Hang on every word,
But don't you hesitate,
Until it all fades away,
Well you should have known this from the beginning,
Holding it back is worse then giving,
Will you be walking in my shoes,
Will you be walking in my shoes,
No
When it comes to the point and there's no tomorrow,
When everything you own is more or less borrowed,
When it comes to the point and there's no tomorrow,
And everything you own is more or less borrowed
Will you be walking in my shoes,
Will you be walking in my shoes,
Hey
And seize the day,
Hang on every word,
But don't you hesitate,
Until it all fades away
Well you run from the things that you can't leave behind,
Time of our lives there's a you and I,
Don't you hesitate just be there in time,
You know that, so well, so well
Will you be walking in my shoes,
Will you be walking in my shoes
Will you be walking in my shoes,
Will you be walking in my shoes
