Burn up the interstate
Got somewhere you need to be
Your not gonna let nobody slow you down
Turn off the radio and turn up your telephone
You don't have time to smell the roses now

Oh but take a second maybe
Before it gets too loud
Breathe before your breath runs out

Don't try so hard to move past the moment
These days go by
And they're gone before you know it
So come on open your window
Let the light shine in
This is life don't miss it

What if you took the time to really suck it in
Cause someday your gonna wish you did
Like a September morning
Like snow without a warning
Like how the summer feels upon your skin

But take a minute maybe
Before the sun goes down
Breathe before your breath runs out

Don't try so hard to move past the moment
These days go by
And they're gone before you know it
So come on open your window
Let the light shine in
This is life don't miss it
(this is life)

Just take a second maybe
Before the sun goes down
Breathe before your breath runs out

Don't try so hard to move past the moment
These days go by
And they're gone before you know it
So come on open your window
Let the light shine in
This is life don't miss it
(this is life)
Don't miss it
Don't miss it
