Live
Peter Bjorn and John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got to
Live the life you choose
You got to
Choose the life you live
Why do you want to lose
Show this world
What it is
You've got to give
Don't let nobody
Tell you your place
One day everybody
Gonna leave this space
Well look around
Touch the sky
Feel this life
If you feel beautiful
Well then so do I
Laughter is your friend
Sometimes sorrow feels
Like it's never gonna end
Spend this time
Counting nothing or everything
You got to
Live the life you choose




You got to
Choose the life you live

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Peter Bjorn and John's song Live in 2-3 seem to revolve around the idea of experiencing all that life has to offer, even the difficult parts. The first verse speaks to the struggles that everyone faces - sometimes we fly too high or get lost, but we have to find ourselves again. The chorus emphasizes the desire to live fully and experience everything, with the repeated phrase "I want, I want. I need, I need. I want, I want to live; To see it all; Laugh; touch it all." This speaks to a deep longing for a fulfilling life, one that is full of laughter and exploration.


The second verse seems to address a more specific relationship, between two people who sometimes say the wrong thing and hurt each other. However, rather than avoiding conflict, the singer says that they would rather fight with this person than give up on the relationship entirely. This suggests that the deep connections we make in life are worth fighting for, even when it's hard.


Overall, Live in 2-3 is a song about resilience and the desire to experience everything that life has to offer, even the difficult moments. It emphasizes a sense of determination to live fully, love deeply, and laugh often.
