Thomas, Rob - One Less Day (Dying Young) Lyrics






I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young

I see my life like a train on a oneway track
I've made mistakes and I couldn't take 'em back
And I've been runnin' round in circles till I'm dizzy I can't lie
But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survived

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young

And I've seen my friends fall away before their time
And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light
So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right
Someday I will leave this world but maybe not tonight

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
I'm one less day from dying young

All my life I have been wondering
Burnin' up my candle like my time just won't end
And I'll keep burnin' till there's nothin' left
Prayin' that tomorrow I can do it all again
And if I get tomorrow I will do it all again

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
I'm one less day from dying young

(I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light
I'm one less day from dying young
I'm one less day from dying young)

  17. E.... R....

    I think you are just getting hotter !!!

  18. J.... B....

    As of yesterday I now know what a front tooth chipped in half feels like. No matter, because Rob Thomas exists.

  19. E.... b....

    Why doesnt he come to Ohio?😭

  20. R.... A....

    This will be my annual birthday must-watch music video.

  21. P.... B....

    I like this song, as a combat veteran with multiple deployments to different parts of the world. This song hits home a bit, nice to know with being shot, blown up, and having to relearn to walk and speak again. I am one less day from dying young.

  22. D.... P....

    Thank you for this song I lost so many when I was younger so far I've made it to 64.

  23. A.... G....

    My mom and I love this song
    2019 November 29

  24. R.... A....

    This song is a truly GREAT anthem for all those who have suffered with any type of debilitating mental illness. Its pure positivity gives hope,insight and the energetic push to keep going.
    Bravo Mr Thomas🙏🙏🙏

  25. B.... I....

    I'll just say - thank God that we still have a few artists left like this guy. I mean the music industry is just going to shit it seems like. Bands like this need to reinforce that there is still actually good music and good artists out there. 👌

  26. B.... J....

    More please. This is gold. Love God/Faith more than anything. I need to lean on it more to hep me with my struggles in life.

  27. J.... M....

    I love this song...my wife showed it to me this week and I have been watching the video several times a day. One thing nags at me, though...wouldn’t each passing day make him one MORE day from dying young?

  28. R.... O....

    I heard this song in the gym like it

  29. J.... C....

    This song takes me to church!

  30. A.... A....

  32. M.... B....

    Thank you!

  33. K.... N....

    Live life large and make every second count

  34. l.... ....

    I've had bad time for really long time but then my motorcycle accident came and I was touching the light on the end of the tunel. But I got back and that's totally how i feel now

  35. A.... ....

    I didnt know he sang this song, I love his music and this song!

  36. M.... S....

    My mom passed away a few months ago from cancer and she was always singing this song... I miss her so much 😭❤️❤️

  37. M.... S....

    Very sexy! and smooth!!....Rob Thomas beautiful forever💘💖💕

  38. W.... M....

    Beautiful staff indeed. I always hear it in Algoa FM. Everytime i hear this song i realize that one day i'll fly away!!!

  39. D.... H....

    🥀This is so Beautiful almost impossible but in the end it's only our truth🥀Thank's for an Amazing song🥀☝️🥀

  40. 3.... ....

    I wish you put out more music than you do, one of my favorite singers. Great song and oh so true.

  41. R.... G....

    this is the new theme song for all of us 80's kids who felt all of the promise of the future....we're not afraid. we might be the first generation to do so. at least that's my hope for all of us. thank you Rob!

  42. P.... M....

    My new life song. I can finally let go of the gambler. A beautiful and inspiring piece of poetry.

  43. c.... ....

    I just heard this song for first time and I can't get it out of my head. Love it! Big fan of Rob Thomas

    c.... ....

    If you haven't already listened to the entire album, beware, every song will be instant love!

    c.... ....

    I'm still waiting to have spare cash to get the album. Now I'm more keen than before haha

    c.... ....

    @cazchappy You can listen to the entire album by visiting his YT channel, it's so worth it! Go girl, go! Man to hold the water and It's only love are my favorites!

  44. d.... ....

    long time fan rob !! love the new song but sorry I think I've heard this tune before not the lyrics just the music

  45. F.... M....

    It's quite devastating to me that I have to wait another 4-5 years for the next album what am I going to do in that time?

  46. �.... B....

    Brilliant song, very uplifting, after listening to this I feel like I can take on the world, thx Rob

  47. E.... ....

    Here I was feeling a little sad at the loss of my youth....looking for something on youtube about "growing older". Not what I was looking for but exactly what I needed!! Thank you Rob Thomas for this great song!

  48. D.... B....

    As one of us who followed MB20 and RT through the years and is from 'that generation' of music I gotta say this song comes at a perfect time for us. We're all getting older, watching people we love pass away and in that respect it's hard to see anything positive. Sure most of us have kids and spouses, etc but many of us have friends or family that have passed, parents who are no longer with us. This song reminded me to just be thankful that my candle is still burning. RT keep em coming mate.

  49. K.... J....

    Is there anything he writes and sings that isn't a masterpiece?

  50. A.... ....

    Love you Rob❤❤❤❤

  51. D.... C....

    This reminds me of my grandson he passed away in March at the young age of 18. Love matchbox 20.

  52. T.... M....

    Lovin it!!!!

  53. g.... ....

    I am amazed at this song! It really resonates with me - love the "Celtic" part. A memory of talking to my Dad - he was in his 80's - and all of a sudden he had a big smile on his face. What are you smiling about? He laughed "I just thought of something I will never have to worry about again in my life" - what? "dying young!"

  54. D.... H....

    🥀This is one of the best Albums I've ever heard this song really all song's could make millions on a single C.D alone🥀☝️🥀

  55. g.... p....

    The beat, the lyrics, the melody, the voice. Its always a quality music when done by Rob Thomas.

  56. R.... ....

    Today is my 34th birthday and my day was miserable but this song changed my whole mood.

  57. W.... J....

    I'm not afraid of getting older
    I'm one less day from dying young
    I see the light go past my shoulder
    I'm one less day from dying young

    I see my life like a train with a one-way track
    I've made mistakes, and I couldn't take 'em back
    And I've been runnin' 'round in circles 'til I'm dizzy, I can't lie
    But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survive

    I'm not afraid of getting older
    I'm one less day from dying young
    I see the light go past my shoulder
    I'm one less day from dying young

    And I've seen my friends fall away before their time
    And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light
    So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right
    Someday, I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight

    I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) of getting older
    I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young
    I see the light (I see the light) go past my shoulder
    I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young
    I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (yeah!)

    All my life I have been wandering
    Burning up my candle like my time just won't end
    And I'll keep burning 'til there's nothing left
    Praying that tomorrow I can do it all again
    And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again

    I'm not afraid of getting older
    I'm one less day from dying young
    And I see the light go past my shoulder
    I'm one less day from dying young

    I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) of getting older
    I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (from dying young)
    I see the light (I see the light) go past my shoulder
    I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (from dying young!)
    I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (from dying young!)
    Hey!

  61. A.... ....

    For me, this song really reaches me. I have depression and some days are bad, others are worse. A few times I came close to dying young. Its hard to not give up on life, but whenever I hear this song, I just...I regain hope, I regain life. I realize that life is a struggle, and depression can drag you down, but I shouldn't give up on life. This song just heals a wound I forget is there sometimes. Thank you Rob Thomas, thank you so very much.
    You have no clue how much you really helped me, no clue just how much this song saved my life.

  78. c.... ....

  79. C.... B....

    I find this song to be a dedication to life in a time when it means little. Thank you Rob for never disappointing your loyal fans. Keep up the inspiration you sow in us through your music and lyrics. To all those that have lost someone close, this song could be your dedication to them.

  80. I.... S....

  82. A.... G....

    This rocks! I'm 60. If you're lucky you'll live as long as I have.



    One less day from dying young.

  83. B.... G....

    I love the undertone of the song. It kind of reminds me of Fire On the Mountain

  84. S.... B....

    I knew this was a great song the first time I heard it. I was very fortunate to see him sing this at the Louisville Palace last night, a great artist and band. A very moving show...I felt blessed to be there. Rob's songs are timeless because they are about things relevant in life, not a bunch of mindless nonsense. Keep up the good work Rob!!!

  85. S.... E....

    My niece oliva seen him in concert and put it on facebook and heard it ..it was over love it. !!!! Thank u niece love u livi

  86. D.... B....

    Sounds very like australia song we are 1 but we are many

  87. D.... H....

    Makes too much sense I love this song

  88. D.... ....

    I thought you were 26

  89. D.... B....

    I'm so sad that people I have asked lately-younger generation-just say 'who' when I talk about MB20 or Rob. Of course most of them know all the words to Lonely No More or This Is How A Heart Breaks and have no clue who sings it because it's not Miley or Justin. Finding this song was perfect for how I was feeling about it. Simple song but the message is for all of us that were OG MB20 fans I say.

  90. D.... H....

    🥀This song is stronger than ever I listen to it every night it helps!Thanks Rob Thomas your Amazing and creative🥀☝️🥀

  91. A.... K....
