Live Like We're Dying merupakan single pertama dari Kristopher Neil Allen atau yang biasa disapa Kris Allen. Jawara American Idol season 8 ini akan merilis album perdana pasca kemenangan nya di American Idol.
Kaya pernah denger single ini sebelumnya? Ya kamu yang disana bener banget! Single ini terdapat di B-Side album The Script yang hanya terdapat di area Jepang. Tidak jauh beda antara LLWD nya The Script dengan LLWD nya Kris Allen. Dari musik yang sama, aransemen yang sama dan suara nya hampir mirip!
"impressive", "a future smash hit" , "possibly the best first post-American Idol single yet by an American Idol champion" itulah pendapat dari beberapa kritikus Amerika sana. Menurut saya? Ya ini adalah single yang bagus buat Kris Allen walaupun saya berpendapat agak tidak pas jika single lama diperbaharui dan dijadikan single perdana untuk debut album jawara American idol.

Lyrics:
Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
How come we don’t say I love you enough
Till it’s to late, it’s not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would’ve done
Yeah… gotta start
Lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution
There’ll no one on the line
Yeah… gotta start
Lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh - like we’re dying [x2]
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live - like we’re dying
We never know a good thing till it’s gone
You never see a crash until it’s head on
All those people right when we’re dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it’s gone
Yeah… gotta start
Lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start livin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh - like we’re dying [x2]
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Live like we’re dying
[Fade out]
