    Lyrics
    My friend drove off the other day,
    And now he's gone and all they say,
    Is you gotta live cause life goes on
    But 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 cause that's the way I wanna live
    And so I give
    And I'm still giving

    And now I wonder about my friend
    If he gave all he could give
    Cause he lived his life like I live mine
    If you could see inside my head
    Then you'd start to understand
    The things I value in my heart

    You know that,
    I know that,
    You're watching me.

    Gotta make a plan
    Gotta do whats right
    Can't run around in circles if you wanna build a life
    And 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....
