lyrics

Is there more to living than just being alive? 
As long as I breathe  Iʼm gonna do what I want
ʻcause Iʼm not ready to die

The clock is always ticking and someday youʼll grow old
when your children have kids and they gather around 
what story will you tell?

I donʼt mean to scare you 
I wont tell you lies
 when it comes down to it
 Whatcha gonna do before you die?

Everyone is special. Most donʼt even know 
It doesnʼt matter what  it doesnʼt matter when
Just do the things that you do
Iʼm not the voice of reason, but these are things Iʼve learned
Iʼm on my way to the top  I donʼt know where it is
 but Iʼm not coming down.

I donʼt mean to prepare you
 I wont tell you lies 
when it comes down to it 
Whatcha gonna do before you die?

The clock is always ticking and someday youʼll grow old
when your children have kids and they gather around 
what story will you tell?

I donʼt mean to scare you 
I wont tell you lies
 when it comes down to it
 Whatcha gonna do?
I donʼt mean to prepare you
 I wont tell you lies 
when it comes down to it 
Whatcha gonna do before you die?

about

OC and the Offbeats Portland, Maine

Portland based rock band OC and the Offbeats brings a new brand of blues and soul to the table. Forming in 2012, the band received opportunities to play in venues in Portland’s Old Port and festivals like the Fryeburg Fair and University of Southern Maine’s HuskyFest. Since then, we’ve added strength in numbers (going from a trio to a 6 piece!) We hope you enjoy our debut release, Looking Up. ... more
