  • Burn up the interstate
    Got somewhere you need to be, you're
    Not gonna let nobody slow you down
    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 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 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

    Take a minute maybe
    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

    Hm, 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

    Don't miss it
