I can't stand by
  And see you destroyed
  I can't be here
  And watch you burn up
  Lie for the moment
  And lie as a decoy
  Does it matter
  If I give in easy
  So why
  Is it so hard to get by
  
  And I say
  We're too down
  But it's now or never baby
  We don't mind
  If this don't last forever
  See the light
  But it won't last forever
  Seize the time
  Cause it's now or never baby
  
  Let's leave at sunrise
  Let's live by the ocean
  And I don't mind
  If we never come home at all
  Steal the morning
  So set in motion
  In and out of love
  And institutions
  Cause I know
  This can't last for long
  
  And I say
  We're too down
  But it's now or never baby
  We don't mind
  If this don't last forever
  See the light
  But it won't last forever
  Seize the time
  Cause it's now or never baby
  
  So why
  Is it so hard to get by
  And I say
  
  We're too down
  And this can't last forever
  We don't mind
  Cause it's now or never baby
