(Verse 1)
I haven’t had some down time in god knows when
I don’t get home till 3a.m.
The sun is rising by the time I lay down
My whole world flips upside down

(Chorus)
I burn the candle at both ends
And I can sleep when I’m dead
No time to lose with one life to live
And I can sleep when I’m dead
When I'm dead

Pedal to the metal with no signs to slow down
Until you put me in the ground
Seven days a week I work my fingers to the bone
My whole world’s a big cyclone

(Chorus)
I burn the candle at both ends
And I can sleep when I’m dead
No time to lose with one life to live
And I can sleep when I’m dead

(Bridge)
Try n’ take it easy just once in awhile
Go ahead and give this a try
This may sound cheesy or juvenile
Just laying in the grass staring at the sky
Sitting on your ass just getting high

Been pushin' it to the limit should’ve been taking it easy
Go ahead and slow on down

(Chorus)
No, I'll burn the candle at both ends
I can sleep when I’m dead
No time to lose with one life to live
I can sleep when I’m dead

When I'm dead
When I'm dead
