Woke up to the sunlight cutting through the blinds
Coffee on the table, yesterday still on my mind
Clock keeps on ticking
But I'm done with counting scars
There's a road out past the heartbreak
Calling who we really are I've spent
Too many nights just trying to outrun the dark
Carrying the weight of every almost
Every broken part
But the rearview's getting smaller
And the sky's turning wide
Today's the day I stop surviving—I decide Chorus
This is a time to live, not just breathe
To chase the spark instead of the grief
Throw the windows open, let the wild wind in
There's a heartbeat loud enough to drown
The"might-have-beens"
Yeah, this is a time to live
A time to live
I see her in the doorway with that reckless kind of grin
Says,"The world's still spinning, baby—come on, jump in"
Barefoot on the dashboard, singing off-key to the radio
Every mile we steal back feels like letting
The real me go No more waiting for permission
No more perfect time to start
The cracks are where the light gets in
The cracks are where we fall apart
And rise up laughing, bruised
And brighter than before
Love me like the morning—messy
Loud, and begging more Chorus
This is a time to live, not just breathe
To dance in the downpour, to fall to our knees
Kiss me like tomorrow might forget our names
Run like the night can't ever catch us again
Yeah, this is a time to live
A time to live Bridge
Let the clocks all stop, let the fears burn out
We were born to burn, not to flicker and doubt
If the sky falls
We'll hold it with our bare hands
If the song ends
We'll sing it louder than we ever planned
This is a time to live, wide awake and unafraid
To love like we're dying at the end of the day
Scream it from the rooftops, whisper it in the rain
Every second we're given is a holy amen
Yeah, this is a time to live
Right now, right here—this is a time to live
A time to live
So here's to the messy, to the beautiful fight
Here's to the ones who still believe in the light
Turn it up, turn it loud, let it shake in your ribs
This is a time to live
This is a time to live
