This song is about needing to live life to the fullest. Life goes by too quick and before you know it, it’ll be over.
The chorus refers to how sometimes while touring, people from the crew will invite a friend to hang out with the band. Mustaine either thinks they’re cool people, or can’t stand the...
[Verse 1]
This thing called "Life" goes by so quickly
On day you're here and then you're gone
This is the moment I've lived my whole life for
And I'll never give up; I've waited too long
[Pre-Chorus]
I've waited, waited too long
I've waited too long
[Chorus]
And all along the road
All the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends
Just not good friends of mine
[Verse 2]
I've been kicked out and said I quit
Then I said, "I've had enough" and "This is it"
All I wanted was just one more show for the road
Cause it was over last time before I could blink, I could blink
[Pre-Chorus]
I've waited, waited too long
I've waited too long
[Chorus]
And all along the road
All the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends
Just not good friends of mine
[Post-Chorus]
Their bodies left behind
[Instrumental Outro]
