Lyrics
January resolutions
February no solutions
March brings endless rain
April taxes bring you pain - (I hope you live before you die)
Every year the same routine
fade to grey that once held dream
Feels to late to grab the ring - (I hope you'll give your dreams a try)
like you haven't achieved a thing
Time flies three sixty five
suddenly you're seventy and haven't done a thing
like Omar said, rubiat,
the bird the bird the bird - is on the wing
twenty laughing
calls you absurd
the wing, the wing, the wing
is on the bird
But twenty turns and forty flees
and sixty finds you on your knees
clinging to the shadows
of unchased opportunities.
The dream,
the thing you always hoped would be
the future plan for syncronicity
you should have chased it way back then
when your legs were strong and your lungs held wind.
And so you say to twenty five
pursue the dream while you're still alive.
Don't leave it all til it's too late
You can also fail at what you hate.
College loans, high rent,
working sixty, money's spent
Friday comes, take a chance
hit the scene, too tired to dance
Saturday, laundry done
still feels like you're on the run
Sunday finally take a break
I hope you live before you wake
I hope you live before you die
I hope you'll give your dreams a try
Sunday finally take a break
I hope you live before you wake
I hope you live before you die
I hope you'll give your dreams a try
Twenty laughing
calls you absurd
the wing, the wing, the wing
is on the bird
but twenty turns and forty flees
and sixty finds you on your knees
clinging to the shadows
of unchased opportunities.
The dream,
the thing you always hoped would be
the future plan for syncronicity
You should have chased it way back then
when your legs were strong and your lungs held wind.
And so you say to twenty five
pursue the dream while you're still alive.
Don't leave it all til it's too late
you can also fail at what you hate.
Sunday finally take a break
I hope you live before you wake
I hope you live before you die
I hope you'll give your dreams a try
Sunday finally take a break
I hope you live before you wake
I hope you live before you die
I hope you'll give your dreams a try
