She told him she’d rather fix her makeup
Than try to fix what’s going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cellphone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she’s living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upside down
Don’t say so long, and throw yourself wrong
Don’t spend today away
Cause today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is
Gone, just trying to prove me wrong
And pretend like you’re immortal

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow
Brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)
Where’s your treasure, where’s your hope
If you get the world and lose your soul

She pretends like, she pretends like she’s immortal
Don’t say so long
You’re not that far gone
This could be your big chance to makeup
Today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You’re going, going, gone
Like summer break is gone
Like Saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you’re immortal (You’re immortal)
You’re immortal (You’re immortal)

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate

We’re so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decadence

Gone, like Frank Sinatra

Like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Pacino’s cash nothing lasts in this life

My high school dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone

Life is a day that doesn’t last for long
Life is more than money
Time was never money
Time was never cash

Life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred dollar bills
And roto-tom fills
Life’s more than fame and rock and roll and thrills

All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We got information in the information age
But do we know what life is
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages

She said he said live like no tomorrow

Every moment that we borrow
Brings us closer to the God who’s not short of cash

Hey Bono I’m glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is still worth living

Life is more than you are
