| [00:05.08] | |
| [00:15.54] | You could be this man, he's got it all worked out |
| [00:18.24] | |
| [00:18.99] | To the nth degree, no fears, no doubts |
| [00:21.93] | |
| [00:22.48] | He'll retire at thirty to his big-ass house next to the putting green |
| [00:27.86] | |
| [00:29.11] | Now he's got a picture in his head of the perfect wife, |
| [00:32.24] | Their perfect children, their perfect life |
| [00:35.36] | |
| [00:36.24] | Nothing wrong with that, coming home each night to his cul-de-sac of dreams |
| [00:41.74] | |
| [00:43.55] | Funny now how it all went by so fast |
| [00:47.96] | |
| [00:49.34] | One day he's looking over his shoulder at the past |
| [00:54.74] | |
| [00:56.18] | When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere |
| [01:01.32] | |
| [01:02.94] | How did he forget about what got him there |
| [01:07.34] | |
| [01:14.15] | Now you could be this woman, she's the CEO |
| [01:17.17] | |
| [01:17.85] | She's got her powersuits and her IPO's |
| [01:21.24] | She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago and she hasn't pulled back since |
| [01:26.77] | |
| [01:27.83] | Now there's a gardener for the flowers, a cook for the meals, |
| [01:31.40] | A maid for the laundry, an accountant for the bills |
| [01:34.96] | A walker for the dog and a trainer when she feels the need to lose an inch |
| [01:40.40] | |
| [01:42.40] | Funny now how it all went by so fast |
| [01:47.12] | |
| [01:48.18] | One day she's looking over her shoulder at the past |
| [01:53.31] | |
| [01:55.12] | When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere |
| [02:00.43] | |
| [02:01.62] | Somehow she forgot about what got her there |
| [02:06.13] | |
| [02:10.33] | Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination |
| [02:23.18] | |
| [02:58.06] | Or you could be the one who takes the long way home |
| [03:01.63] | |
| [03:02.19] | Roll down your window, turn off your phone |
| [03:05.33] | See your life as a gift from the great unknown |
| [03:08.85] | And your task is to receive it |
| [03:10.91] | |
| [03:11.72] | Tell your kid a story, hold your lover tight |
| [03:15.35] | Make a joyful noise, swim naked at night |
| [03:19.23] | Read a poem a day, call in well sometimes and |
| [03:23.16] | Laugh when they believe it |
| [03:24.91] | |
| [03:26.41] | Funny now how it all goes by so fast |
| [03:31.28] | |
| [03:31.98] | One day I'm looking over my shoulder at the past |
| [03:37.67] | |
| [03:39.10] | Now everybody's got to go, got to be, got to get somewhere |
| [03:44.24] | |
| [03:45.86] | Baby don't forget about |
| [03:48.05] | |
| [03:49.30] | You really shouldn't forget about |
| [03:51.39] | |
| [03:52.83] | Baby don't forget about what got you there |
| [03:56.70] | |
