Have you ever walked the high pass
Watched the northern lights flash
Took a photograph on a Paris street
Have you ever climbed a tall tree
Asked someone for mercy
Gave something away that wasn’t free

I don’t wanna get a vision of you stuck in my head
Because I know that you were meant to be wilder
Another night of television while you’re lying in bed
Is slowly gonna be the death for you

Have you ever really lived
You talk a big game but
It’s just a matter of time, Have you ever really lived
We’re all on the clock here
In the blink of an eye you’re a goner
So for once in your life try the deeper water
Feel the pull of whatever is out there
And ask yourself this once
Have you ever really lived

Have you ever used your hands to
Build something from scratch that
Wasn’t even for you
When you hear the waves are crashing
Over Nazare man
Don’t you wanna see them

And I don’t wanna get a vision of you stuck in my head
Because I know that you were meant to be wilder
Another night of television while you’re stuck in your head
Is that really how it's gonna be

Have you ever really lived
You talk a big game but
It’s just a matter of time, Have you ever really lived
We’re all on the clock here
In the blink of an eye you’re a goner
So for once in your life try the deeper water
Feel the pull of whatever is out there
And ask yourself this once
Have you ever really lived

Be honest now is this really how you wanna go out
And if you don’t it ain’t too late to turn it around
