We Die Young
The Showdown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Move in circles and unwind
Feel the rhythm and the lines
Are you satisfied?
Fell the need and just collide

Swear your best intent and ride
Into the edge of night
And run
Live so fast, you come undone
If we die young
Bright as stars, we fade as one
So run

Talk in circles and entwine
Tell your breath, carry your mind
Are you satisfied?
Do you feel alive?

Tired tongue and aching chest
What it takes outdoes your best
Death redraws the line
Do you feel alive?

So run
Live so fast you come undone
If we die young
Bright as stars, we fade as one

You’ll always run
Live so fast you come undone
And we die young
Bright as stars, we fade as one

So run
Live so fast, you come undone
And we die young
Bright as stars, we fade as one

You’ll always run
Live so fast, you come undone
And we die young
Bright as stars, we fade as one

So run
Live so fast, you come undone
And we die young
Bright as stars, we fade as one

You’ll always run
Live so fast, you come undone




And we die young
Bright as stars, we fade as one
