Kris Allen: Live Like We’re Dying - Lyrics:

Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
How come we don’t say I love you enough
Till it’s too late, it’s not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would’ve done

[Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin’ it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying

And if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there’ll be no one on the line

(Chorus)

Like we’re dying (x4)

(Chorus)

You never know a good thing until it’s gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we’re dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it’s gone

(Chorus)

Like we’re dying (x4)

(Chorus)

Shocking Elimination on American Idol Season 8; Top 2 Finalists Revealed

Over 88 million votes came in...

...And the Top 2 finalists were finally revealed.

Here's the recap of last night's American Idol Season 8 elimination night:

The show started with Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert's last Ford music video which was based on the song "Ain’t Nothin’ Gonna Break My Stride".

Alicia Keys then came on the stage together with a Rwandan child named Noah who sang an English song "I’m the World’s Greatest" that he learned in one week. In this line, Alicia asked for donations to help prevent AIDS in Africa.

Ryan Seacrest called Danny Gokey on centerstage and talked about the song choices from last night. He told Danny to have a seat on the couch and he will get back to him in a few minutes. Ryan called Kris Allen afterwards and took the audience on his journey home this past week. To hold the suspense, Ryan sent back Kris to the sofa to sit with Danny.

American Idol Sixth season winner Jordin Sparks came out next and sang her hit single "Battle Field".

After Jordin Sparks' number, Ryan Seacrest called Adam Lambert on center stage. Just like with Danny and Kris, he showed Adam’s homecoming the past week. He also talked about Adam’s song choices and sent the rocker to the couch together with Kris and Danny.

Katy Perry came out and performed her latest song "Waking Up In Vegas". Katy was wearing a cape with Adam's name on it...her way of showing America how she adored Adam. This is actually the first time a guest artist has openly campaigned for a contestant on the show.

Ryan Seacrest then announced the first person competing next week in the finale...surprisingly, it was Kris Allen. The second name announced to go head to head with Kris in the finale is Simon's favorite Adam Lambert.

Everyone seemed shocked as Carrie Underwood’s farewell song played for Danny Gokey.
