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

Ooh, but take a second, baby
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 soak it in
'Cause someday you're 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, baby
Oh, 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 minute, 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, don't miss it, don't miss it
