Always in a hurry to get nowhere Always in a hurry 'cause I'm late Always lookin' to the next set of lights Never seeing what's right in front of me I drive fast and drive past, and miss the little things, I drive fast My friends say that my life is passing by me That I'm quickly speeding to a dead end Feel like I'm running across a floor of scattered marbles Wondering when and where I'm gonna crash I could lose my license; I could lose my house and car Better make a u-turn, I don't wanna go that far. I take the long way home and see the sights now Roll the window down and feel the breeze Had a little chat with Mrs. Jackson This is how my life is supposed to be I drove fast and drove past And missed the little things I really needed to see I drive slow 'Cause I know I need to see the little things (see the little things) See the little things (see the little things) Need to see the little things I drive slow, 'cause I know, I need to, drive slow
