Lyrics
Somebody never told me there's a last time for everything
Even a landslide is an opening
Turning metal into gold
Silver lining, somebody never told me
Paper flowers don't die
But neither do they live like you and I
Lightning never striking twice is a lie
Like good things coming when you wait
To tell the truth, I gotta say
I don't believe in yesterday
I don't wanna live forever, anyway
For a moment that was never here to stay
Forget about tomorrow
For just today
Somebody never told me there's a first time for everything
It's a free fall discovery
On the day you get that call and the waiting is over
It all changes in the blink of an eye
Paper flowers don't die
But neither do they live like you and I
Lightning never striking twice is a lie
Like good things coming when you wait
To tell the truth, I gotta say
I don't believe in yesterday
I don't wanna live forever, anyway
For a moment that was never here to stay
Forget about tomorrow
(Forget about tomorrow)
Just for today
Forget about tomorrow
Just for today (just for today)
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Just for today
