100 Years


I don't even remember the first time I heard this song.

It's been too long of a time.


To be honest, when I first heard the song, I was not a big fan.

I think the song was just too slow, the melody was too whiney, and the singer was someone much older than me (and not cute too)


It's not until I really read the lyrics that I love this song.

Plus the countless number of time this song was chosen in the karaoke time.

(karaoke is a really good thing to do if you want to understand the in-depth meaning of songs. trust me!)

Then I get it.


This song has unbelievably deep meaning.

What if you have 100 years to live?

Considering how greedy a human being can be, I also in the same page with Vladimir John Ondrasik.

I think, if I would have 100 years to live, I would be too easy on myself until I was 99. Then, I would be freaking out, because I would only have another year to live.

Pretty classic.


And now that I'm currently planning on my near future, I think about the lyrics of this song a lot.

I think I have been wasting too much time, unfortunately.

I wish I would have another 100 years to live


Five For Fighting - 100 Years


I'm 15 for a moment

Caught in between 10 and 20

And I'm just dreaming

Counting the ways to where you are


I'm 22 for a moment

She feels better than ever

And we're on fire

Making our way back from Mars


15 there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to lose

15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live


I'm 33 for a moment

Still the man, but you see I'm a they

A kid on the way

A family on my mind


I'm 45 for a moment

The sea is high

And I'm heading into a crisis

Chasing the years of my life


15 there's still time for you

Time to buy, Time to lose yourself

Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you

15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live


Half time goes by

Suddenly you’re wise

Another blink of an eye

67 is gone

The sun is getting high

We're moving on...


I'm 99 for a moment

Dying for just another moment

And I'm just dreaming

Counting the ways to where you are


15 there's still time for you

22 I feel her too

33 you’re on your way

Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to choose

Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live
