Muse - Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They're saying that tomorrow the world might end
But that only means
More time
For living
Cuz if we never died
Or ran out of time
Would it be good?
Would it be good?
Well I'm living
Living for the the now
And I'm giving
Like I always knew somehow
That the day would come
When we only had 24
24 hours
24 - Ah- Et
Now I'm living
Living for the now
Oh yes I'm giving
Like I only knew somehow
That the day would come
When we only had 24
24 hours
I'm gonna take what's mine
Not tryna leave this life
With some regrets not right
I'm tryna max out time
Cuz all the gifts that I've been given
Don't compare to the present
This I know
This I know
Well I'm living
Living for the the now
And I'm giving
Like I always knew somehow
That the day would come
When we only had 24
24 hours
24 - Ah- Et
Now I'm living
Living for the now
Oh yes I'm giving
Like I only knew somehow
That the day would come




When we only had 24
24 hours
