Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm changing lanes
I'm talking on the phone
I'm drivin' way too fast
And the interstate's jammed with
Gunners like me, afraid of coming in last
But somewhere in the race we run
We're coming undone
[Chorus]
And days go by, I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
Yeah, it's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
Oh, and ah ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights running through
A river of neon signs, mmm
But somewhere in the rush, I felt
We're losing ourselves
[Chorus]
Days go by, I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
Yeah, it's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
Oh and ah ooh-ooh
Yeah, the days go by
Oh and ah ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
We think about tomorrow
Then it slips away, oh yes it does
We talk about forever, but we've only got today
[Chorus]
And the days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window
As the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin'
You better start livin'
Better start livin' right now
[Chorus]
'Cause days go by
I can feel like 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind
The cars go by
Yeah, it's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
Oh, and ah ooh-ooh
Yeah, these days go by
Oh and ah ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Oh, so take 'em by the hand
They're yours and mine
Oh, take 'em by the hand
And live your life
Take 'em by the hand
Don't let 'em all fly by
[Outro]
Come on, come on now
Come on now
Oh, and ah ooh-ooh, ooh
Don't you know the days go by
