I'm drivin' way too fast

And the interstate's jammed with gunners like me

Afraid of comin' in last

But somewhere in the race we run

We're comin' undone.

Days go by

I can feel them flyin'

Like a hand out the window in the wind

The cars go by

It's all we've been given

So you better start livin' right now

'Cause days go by.

Out on the roof just the other night

I watched the world flash by

Headlights, taillights and runnin' through a river

Of neon signs

But somewhere in the rush I felt

We're losin' ourselves.

And days go by

I can feel 'em flyin'

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.

Yeah, the days go by

We think about tomorrow, then it slips away

Oh yes it does

We talk about forever but we've only got today.

And the days go by

I can feel 'em flyin'

Like a hand out the window as the cars go by

It's all we've been given

So you'd better start livin'

You better start livin'

Better start livin' right now.

'Cause days go by

I can feel them flyin'

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.

Yeah these days go by

Oh, so take 'em by the hand

They're yours and mine

Take 'em by the hand

And live your life

Take 'em by the hand

Don't let 'em all fly by

Come on

Come on now

Come on

Don't you know the days go by...
