Living for Today
NOI!SE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not a second wasted
We were kids with the whole worl in our hands
Possibilities endless
Nothing we couldnt do
Nothing we couldnt stand
They say youth is wasted
Say youth is wasted on the young
Take a look at us now
Look what we've become, we were just

Kids
Can't live for tomorrow
Its too far away

As were were, so you shall try
As I am so you shall be
Looking at the younger me
Thinking of the scene to be
As the years turn in to dust
We pass it on to those we trust
We teach them how to use today
And know we have not lived in vain

Kids




Can't live for tomorrow
Its too far away
