Changin' lanes and talkin' on the phone
Drivin' way too fast
The interstate's jammed with gunners like me
Afraid of comin' in last
But somewhere in the race we run
We're comin' undone.
Days go by
I can feel them flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind
Cars go by
Yeah, it's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by.
I was on the roof just the other night
And watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights and runnin' through the river
Of neon signs
But somewhere in the rush I felt
We're losin' ourselves.
Days go by
I can feel them flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind
Cars go by
Yeah, it's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by.
We think about tomorrow, then it slips away
We talk about forever but we've only got today.
Days go by
I can feel them flyin'
Like a hand out the window as the cars go by
Yeah, it's all we've been given
So you'd better start livin'
We'd better start livin'
We'd better start livin' right now.
Days go by
I can feel them flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind
Cars go by
Yeah, it's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by.
'Cause days go by
Oh, so take them by the hand
They're yours and mine
Take them by the hand
And live your life
Take them by the hand
Don't let them all fly by
Come on
Come on now
Don't you know the days go by...
