Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Bottled up in adolescence
Bottom up forbidden essence
Twisted up in adolescence
Waking up within your arms
I feel alive and dangerous
You’re dangerous, we’re dangerous
Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Now or never, it’s now or never
Now or never, it’s now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it’s now or never
Now or never, it’s now or never
The last day alive
Promises within the air
Drowning in love affair
The night is young and we are young
Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Now or never, it’s now or never
Now or never, it’s now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it’s now or never
Now or never, it’s now or never
The last day alive
The last day alive
Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
The last day alive
Now or never, it’s now or never
Now or never, it’s now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it’s now or never
Now or never, it’s now or never
The last day alive
The last day alive
The last day alive
Chasing the Moment: Living Like It’s the Last Day Alive
“Last Day Alive” by The Chainsmokers captures the exhilarating rush of living in the present, embracing youthful freedom, and seizing every fleeting moment. The recurring motif of running into the bright lights and the insistent refrain of “now or never” evoke a sense of urgency and passion, suggesting that life should be lived without reservations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of late-night adventures and the intoxicating blend of romance and rebellion. It’s an anthem for anyone yearning to break free from routine and make every night count, underscored by the energy and vulnerability of youth.
