This song is about a man who has the horrifying ability to see timers over people's heads that tell him when they will all die. The music video is a MUST-SEE to help understand the lyrics: A man is saved by a random stranger before he blindly steps onto the street and almost gets struck by a bus. He begins to see timers above the heads of other people, but he appears not to have one of his own. He attempts to figure out what the timers represent, yet he is unable to until an old woman's reaches 0:00:00 and she dies. He makes the connection that the numbers within the timers are an indicator of how long the people have to live. At the end of the video, he manages to save a woman's life from getting crushed by a falling stone-statue as she approaches her (her time had been close to 0:00:00); it is then that the woman begins to see timers over people's heads. Although not explicitly presented, the implication appears to be that once the person has saved another, they are "released" from their burden and can no longer see the timers. It becomes the newest person's job to save another.
The video also features brief shots of the band performing the song casually in an apartment that appears to be above the street where the main part of the video is taking place.
I wanna have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I'm alive
Just as the four walls close me within
My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
I'm the first to know
My dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that is dead shall be re-grown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign
You will be fine
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Any type of love it will be shown
Like every single tree reach for the sky
if you're gonna fall
i'll let you know
that i will pick you up
like you for i
i felt this thing
i can't replace
when everyone was working for this goal
where all the children left without a trace
only to come back as pure as gold
to recite this all
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
Tonight
Hey oh here I am
And here we go
Life’s waiting to begin
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
life's waiting to begin (do this with me)
Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
Here we go
life's waiting to begin
life's waiting to begin
