I've been livin in a room without windows
|
Away from the sun, no oxygen
|
I couldn't tell if it was day or night
|
Away from the sun, growing nowhere fast
|
Rushing along on the pavement
|
Don't even look at the people's faces, going places
|
|
When an old man said stop
|
You nearly stepped on a flower
|
Growing through the cracks
|
And you didn't even notice
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Wake up smell the roses
|
Life is happening and you don't know it
|
Wake up, take a moment
|
Grab it in your hands... and own it
|
|
I realise our love is like that flower
|
Been neglecting the thing most precious to me
|
You've been talking but I haven't been listening
|
The static in the noise been drowning you out
|
I so wanna be in the future
|
That I keep tripping
|
|
Over my own shoe laces
|
In these human races
|
And i'm brought back to now
|
And the volume goes down
|
There's peace in his words as loud as a shout sayin'
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
He says
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Like your birthday I forgot
|
I was with you
|
But I was not... really there
|
Snap your fingers, that's your life
|
Not gonna let it pass my by no
|
When an old man said stop
|
You nearly stepped on a flower
|
Growing
|
Through the cracks
|
And you didn't even notice
|
|
[Chorus]
|
