lyrics
Well it's Saturday, I wake up in the morning,
Give a stretch, a yawn, and then I'm gone,
I'm out the door exploring, it's a brand new day,
Then I grab the keys, jump in the driver's seat,
I'm soaking up the sun and as it beats down,
On my dashboard I know things are gonna go my way,
Just live your life,
Take a minute to appreciate the things that,
Come and go by, you don't even know it,
Take a step back, don't forget to show it,
And try,
Put your heart into everything you do,
'Cos no one quite knows just how long they'll be here,
Never give up, you'll regret it for the rest of your,
Life,
Now it's twenty past eleven and I'm cruising,
Don't really care how many miles I'm doing,
'Cos it's just me and the open road,
Then I pull over, stop, I take a deep breath,
Better check to see how much fuel's left,
All the while the sun's still beating down on me,
'Cos it's so easy to get lost,
When every day's non-stop,
Just take a break and think about,
Where you're going in your,
Life,
Take a minute to appreciate the things that,
Come and go by, you don't even know it,
Take a step back, don't forget to show it,
And try,
Put your heart into everything you do,
'Cos no one quite knows just how long they'll be here,
Never give up, you'll regret it for the rest of your,
Life,
'Cos it's so easy to get lost,
When every day's non-stop,
Just take a break and think about,
Where you're going in your,
Life,
Just live your life,
And take a minute to appreciate the things that,
Come and go by, you don't even know it,
Take a step back, don't forget to show it,
And try,
Put your heart into everything you do,
'Cos no one quite knows just how long they'll be here,
Never give up, you'll regret it for the rest of your,
Life,
Take a minute to appreciate the things that,
Come and go by, you don't even know it,
Take a step back, don't forget to show it,
And try,
Put your heart into everything you do,
'Cos no one quite knows just how long they'll be here,
Never give up, you'll regret it for the rest of your life,
[Alice]
Don't waste your life and throw it away,
'Cos no one quite know when they're going away,
Don't waste your life, just wear your heart on your sleeve,
'Cos no one quite knows when they're gonna leave.
