Stop and Smell Thee Roses |
Not to say were not fortunate to be born |
To a world that encourages us to grow |
But sometimes perpetual motion moves so slow |
Hunger for a change of scenery |
You drive North in search of snow |
Were you prepared for certain shadows |
To follow you everywhere that you go |
Your body’s been decaying all this time |
And now it finally starts to show |
And are you having second thoughts |
About that path that you chose |
Now that the fire in your eyes |
Has burned down like coals |
To a warm consistent glow |
Well hey that smoke has cleared |
You regained the use of your nose |
So take take a second now |
To stop and smell the roses |
Just like you never thought you had time |
But always thought that you should |
At least for now it’s okay to take life in smaller doses |
Something new has come to town |
Seems like he’s doing you good |
And I’ve come to a new town |
Yeah sure it’s somewhat the same |
It feels good to be aware of |
But still not focused on the cause behind that pain |
And sometimes when the mood is right it feels |
Like every inch and nothings changed |
But in some way that not for one second |
Has stayed the same |
So you remember to eat dinner |
Remember to feel better |
Remember your friends |
They’ll think that you forgot them |
If you only write secret letters |
Remember not to focus on |
Those feelings that you lack |
You just might give yourself a heart attack |
