Reach for the Sky

3 min read
The first track from the album Sex, Love and Rock ‘n Roll [2004].
I prefer to listen to Mike Ness performing it in acoustic mode with Social Distortion.
For example, at studioX (youtube).
In the original version, this song is faster paced.
I was thinking that the original creation of this song was from an acoustic model and arranged to rock.

When I was young, I was not invincible
And I find myself now thinking twice
I never think about the future
It’s just a roll of the dice (fate)
But there will come a day, when you lose something
And when you think that, you have finished paying dues (remorse)
And you say to yourself, God what have I done?
And hope it’s not too late, because tomorrow, may not come
Reach for the sky, because tomorrow, may not come
Reach for the sky, because tomorrow, may not come
Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery
But lovers, now, it’s only about me and you
You can run you can hide, like Bonnie and Clyde.
My determination to reach for the sky, will never die
And I thank God, for the love I have found.
I will hold you tight, because tomorrow, may not come
So, if you take this time
Try to make this like the last one (wholeheartedly)
Don’t think about the absence of the future, and forget about the past
And make it the last (wholeheartedly)
