Kris Allen’s new single, “Live Like We’re Dying”, debuted this week and there’s one thing I have to say:When can I have the album?!I’ve been a Kris Allen fan since he first appeared on idol, and predicted his win while everyone else was debating a Lambert/Gokey finale. I was impressed with the way he pulled off that … err …. interesting … winner’s song, “No Boundaries.”But this song is great. It promises to be an Idol winner’s project to not only kick off Allen’s career but put him in the history books with Daughtery, David Cook, Jordan Sparks and other Idol alum.Here are the lyrics to the song:Live Like We’re DyingKris AllenSometimes we fall down and cant get back upWere hiding behind skin thats too toughHow come we dont say I love you enoughTill its to late, its not too lateOur hearts are hungry for a food that wont comeWe could make a feast from these crumbsAnd were all staring down the barrel of a gunSo if your life flashed before youWhat would you wish you wouldve doneYeah gotta startLookin at the hand of the time weve been given hereThis is all we got and we gotta start pickin itEvery second counts on a clock thats tickinGotta live like were dyingWe only got86 400 seconds in a day toTurn it all around or throw it all awayWe gotta tell em that we love emWhile we got the chance to sayGotta live like were dyingAnd if your plane fell out of the skiesWho would you call with your last goodbyesShould be so careful who we live out our livesSo when we long for absolutionTherell no one on the lineYeah gotta startLookin at the hand of the time weve been given hereThis is all we got and we gotta start pickin itEvery second counts on a clock thats tickinGotta live like were dyingWe only got86 400 seconds in a day toTurn it all around or throw it all awayWe gotta tell em that we love emWhile we got the chance to sayGotta live like were dyingLike were dying oh – like were dying [x2]We only got86 400 seconds in a day toTurn it all around or throw it all awayWe gotta tell em that we love emWhile we got the chance to sayGotta live – like were dyingWe never know a good thing till its goneYou never see a crash until its head onAll those people right when were dead wrongYou never know a good thing till its goneYeah gotta startLookin at the hand of the time weve been given hereThis is all we got and we gotta start livin itEvery second counts on a clock thats tickinGotta live like were dyingWe only got86 400 seconds in a day toTurn it all around or throw it all awayWe gotta tell em that we love emWhile we got the chance to sayGotta live like were dyingLike were dying oh – like were dying [x2]We only got86 400 seconds in a day toTurn it all around or throw it all awayWe gotta tell em that we love emWhile we got the chance to sayGotta live like were dyingLive like were dying Click here to subscribe to Gospel Soundcheck by email and have the Gospel Soundcheck headlines delivered daily to your email inbox.
