Lyrics

My friend drove off the other day
Now he's gone and all they say
Is you gotta live cuz life goes on		(Verse 1)
Now I see I'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on

And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
Cuz that's the way I wanna live			(Chorus)
So I give
And I'm still givin

Now I wonder about my friend
If he gave all he could give
Did he live his life like I live mine?		(Verse 2)
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart

(Chorus)

You know that
I know that					(Bridge)
You're watching me

(Solo)
(Chorus)

Gotta make a plan
Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If you wanna build a life			(Outro)
But I don't wanna make a plan
For a day far away
While I'm young and while I'm able
All I wanna do is.....
