one less day dying young

Rob Thomas

I m not afraid of getting older
I m one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I m one less day from dying young

I see my life like a train with a one-way track
I ve made mistakes, and I couldn t take em back
And I ve been runnin
Round in circles til I m dizzy, I can t lie
But every night I go to sleep s a day that I survive

I m not afraid of getting older
I m one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I m one less day from dying young

And I ve seen my friends fall away before their time
And I ve been afraid that I may follow in their light
So I drink and love
And whisper all the things I know are right
Someday, I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight

I m not afraid of getting older
I m one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I m one less day from dying young
I m one less day from dying young (yeah!)

All my life I have been wandering
Burning up my candle like my time just won t end
And I ll keep burning til there s nothing left
Praying that tomorrow I can do it all again
And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again

I m not afraid of getting older
I m one less day from dying young
And I see the light go past my shoulder
I m one less day from dying young

I m not afraid of getting older
I m one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I m one less day from dying young (from dying young!)
I m one less day from dying young (from dying young!)
Hey!

(I m one less day from dying young)
(I m one less day from dying young)
(I m one less day from dying young)
(I m one less day from dying young)
