Lifetime
These Kids Wear Crowns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we all have to grow old
and walk the winding road.
The fires we burn go cold.
Today she stumbles on her way
to find the words to say
get back to yesterday.
cause you got
to feel your heart pound
and you got got got
to put your foot down.
Lets figure it out now.
We're living a lifetime in a minute. It'll pass right by if you let it.
So make it tonight, make it tonight. Cause this is our lifetime
and we just wanna live it.
A life time in a minute.
If you blink your eyes
you could miss it.
So make it tonight,
make it tonight.
Cause this is our lifetime
(and we just wanna live it).
She waves.
She never makes mistakes
but she, ll never get away.
You can't always play it safe.
Give it all that you got
cause you got
to feel your heart pound
and you got got got
to put your foot down.
Lets figure it out now.
We're living a lifetime in a minute. It'll pass right by if you let it.
So make it tonight, make it tonight. Cause this is our lifetime
and we just wanna live it.
A life time in a minute.
If you blink your eyes
you could miss it.
So make it tonight,
make it tonight.
Cause this is our lifetime
So get up get up get up x3
Cause this is our lifetime
Just when we thought
it would last last forever
We're counting down the seconds
it's now or it's never
these moments disappear
I know we all have to grow old
We're living a lifetime in a minute. It'll pass right by if you let it.
So make it tonight, make it tonight. Cause this is our lifetime
and we just wanna live it.
A life time in a minute.
If you blink your eyes
you could miss it.
So make it tonight,
make it tonight.
Cause this is our lifetime
So get up get up get up x3
Cause this is our lifetime (and
we just wanna live it)
So get up get up get up x3
Cause this is our lifetime
and we just wanna live it
The song "Lifetime" by These Kids Wear Crowns is an ode to living in the present moment and enjoying every minute of life. The opening verses acknowledge that we all have to grow old and that the fires we burn in our youth eventually go cold, but the chorus encourages listeners to make the most of the time we have, as life is fleeting and can pass us by if we're not careful. The lyrics also touch on the idea that playing it safe can sometimes hold us back from truly living.
The repetition of "get up" in the bridge emphasizes the urge to take action and make the most of the moment, rather than letting life pass by. The song even directly acknowledges that these moments won't last forever and that we have to seize them while we can. Overall, "Lifetime" is an inspiring call to live life to the fullest and make the most of every moment.

We must all come to terms with the fact that nothing lasts forever. Time moves on, and eventually everything will come to an end.
We're counting down the seconds
The real value of time is measured in seconds. Each one is precious and can never be regained once it has passed.
it's now or it's never
There's no room for hesitation or indecisiveness when it comes to making the most out of your life. Every second counts, and the opportunity to act might not arise again.
these moments disappear
Just as time moves on, individual moments in our lives can only be experienced once, and then never again. Each one is valuable and should be treasured while it lasts.
