Make amends with that old friend

You swore you'd never talk to again

Because you miss him

Call up your mom on the telephone

Talk a whole lot of nothing til the cows come home

And listen

Cross every t, dot most the I's

Cause years grow wings and fly on by

And time slips through your fingers just like sand

Cause everything you thought would last forever

Never lasts forever, like you plan

Don't let your now become a never

So take life by the hands while you still can

Get your dad to tell that same old joke

And laugh between the jack and coke

And hope one day you'll be half as funny

Count your blessings, thank the stars

Cause in the end who you are

It's about the love you give

It sure as hell ain't about the money

Cause everything you thought would last forever

Never lasts forever like you plan

Don't let your now become a never

So take life by the hands while you still can

You just imagine

Anything can happen

if you live every moment like your last

Cause everything you thought would last forever

Never lasts forever like you plan

Don't let your now become a never

So take life by the hands while you still can
