Sadly, this song is about the mortality of the relationship between one partner and another. “Caught up within bad memories”, the failure of this romantic exchange is inevitable. However, Bell wants to live in the moment and as he realizes that the death of their relationship is imminent, he is over...
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
We have short time to stay
Our night is slipping far away
Caught up within bad memories
Our growth seems certain to decay
[Chorus]
Now this feeling's so alive
But, as you or anything, we die
[Post-Chorus 1]
We die, we die
[Verse 2]
Let's stay here for a while
Eyes so round and bright we gently smile
Live for this moment, not the past
Why do we always fall so fast?
[Chorus]
Now this feeling's so alive
But, as you or anything, we die
[Post-Chorus 2]
We die, we die, we die, we die
[Outro]
We die, we die, we die, we die
We die, we die, we die
