|
I've closed the curtains |
|
On many a dawn |
|
And buried my dreams in my bed |
|
Chances most would thrive upon |
|
I've frowned upon instead |
|
It may be just a little too late |
|
For me to return to my youth |
|
But I've stumbled enough |
|
Along the way to stumble upon the truth |
|
See what happens when you stall |
|
Or when you start too late |
|
Oversleep your wake up call |
|
Or pick a fight with fate |
|
You may find you've missed the ball |
|
By waiting at the gate |
|
So as long as life's too short |
|
Take advantage |
|
Spend your days all turned around |
|
And miss what lies ahead |
|
Have your heart so tightly bound |
|
That not a word is said |
|
If your feet stay on the ground |
|
Then all alive is dead |
|
So as long as life's too short |
|
Take advantage |
|
How many chances do you get |
|
Before you're done |
|
Well ask the man, the foolish man |
|
Who had his hands on one |
|
He'll tell you how he passed it by |
|
It didn't matter then |
|
But he'd give the whole entire world |
|
To have that chance again |
|
Sometimes what you're looking for |
|
Is not wrapped up in gold |
|
Miss a certain glance and you're |
|
Without a hand to hold |
|
Some don't find out what's in store |
|
Until they're far too old |
|
So as long as life's too short |
|
So as long as life's too short |
|
Take advantage |
