Well, you get up every morning   And you see, it's still the same   All the floors and all the walls   And all the rest remains   Nothing changes fast enough   The hurry, worry days   It makes you want to give it up   And drift into a haze      Revelations seems to be another way   To make the days go faster anyways      We're all exchanging pleasantries   No matter how we feel   And no one knows the difference   'cause it all seems so unreal   You'd better grab a hold of something   Simple but it's true   If you don't stop to smell the roses now   They might end up on you      Expectations only mean you really think you know   What's coming next, and you don't      Yearbooks with their autographs   From friends you might have had   These are your important years   You'd better make them last   Falling in and out of love just like...   These are your important years, your life      Once you've seen the light, you finally   Realize it might end up all right   It might end up all right now
