Andreas Johnson will sing “Living to Die” during the third semi-final of the Sweden’s Melodifestivalen. It’s his fifth attempt and he’s just dying for a win. The Living to Die lyrics are tinged with hope and darkness in equal measure. We all greet the same fate — a hole in the ground — but that’s not to say we can’t love as much as we can while we can. As Andreas says: “Cause I’m living to die, But I’m still by your side, I know love will survive, We’re all, We’re all living to die.”

LIVING TO DIE LYRICS – ANDREAS JOHNSON

How can I be the one
To make you sing
Be the one to embrace
All the joys you bring
How can I be the one
To dry the tears
When you been let down
And hurt

How can I be the one
To make you laugh

Be the steps that you take
Out on broken glass
So many things I wanna say to you
What can I do
What can I do

Cause I’m living to die
But I’m still by your side
I know love will survive
We’re all
We’re all living to die

What if I was to say to you
There’s no difference
between me and you
No more politics or religion to
Will tear us apart
Will tear us apart

Cause I’m living to die
But I’m still by your side
I know love will survive
Were all
Were all
Aha

Cause I’m living to die
But I’m still by your side
I know love will surive
Were all
Were all
Were all
Living to die
