"Bucket List" lyrics

"Bucket List"

[Music video's beginning:]
I don't have an actual bucket list
I'll panic and think of places I'd like to go
Greece or Alaska for instance
But no bucket list
I can think of things I'd like to do
Ride on a hot-air balloon for instance
Is it bad to make a 'Before I die' list?
People want to feel like they will surely
Do everything before they die that they dream of
But deep down maybe we all know it may not happen
Since you can die at any minute
We know for sure it would not be desirable to die
Without someone holding your hand
Dying with someone holding your hand is more valuable
Than going for a skydive, I think
It's all perspective. All relative
All said and done, wanting someone and not pursuing it is one of life's great tortures
We are mammals after all
A first kiss with that special someone should never be at the bottom of anyone's bucket list
Because life is simply too short
And before you know it, you run out of time

Climb a mountain, swim the seven seas
Get your body to look like Hercules
Jump out an airplane with a parachute
Fly up and away on a hot air balloon

We don't know where it all ends
Some say it's almost over, almost over
If this is it then baby why aren't I on your shoulder?
On your shoulder

In this lifetime
I want you to be mine
Cause I took a long look at my bucket list
And I saw that at the bottom it said our first kiss and
Whoa, I'm running out of time
Whoa, I'm running out of time

Get on your boots and visit the North Pole
Try every sport until you score a goal
Follow the path of a butterfly
Go to Ground Zero and do nothing but cry

We don't know how much time left we got left in this world
This beautiful world

In this lifetime
I want you to be mine
Cause I took a long look at my bucket list
And I saw that at the bottom it said our first kiss and
Whoa, I'm running out of time
Whoa, I'm running out of time

And, this is not a dare
Not some trick of a daredevil
I'd trade in my wildest dreams
For your forever

In this lifetime
I want you to be mine
Cause I took a long look at my bucket list
And I saw that at the bottom it said our first kiss and
Cause I took a long look at my bucket list
And I saw that at the bottom it said our first kiss and
Whoa I'm running out of time
Whoa I'm running out of time
Whoa I'm running out of time
Whoa I'm running out of time

To make you mine (to make you mine)
To make you mine (to make you mine)
To make you mine (mine)
To make you mine (to make you mine, make you mine)
