Burn up the interstate got somewhere you need to be
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 baby
Before it gets too loud
Breathe before your breath runs out
(Chorus)
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 scent in the morning
Like snow without a warning
Like how the summer feels upon your skin
But take a minute baby
Before the sun goes down
Breathe before your breathe 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 baby
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
