I'm changing lanes an' talkin' on the phone,
An' drivin' way too fast.
An' the Interstate's jammed with gunners like me,
Afraid of coming in last.
But somewhere in the race we run,

I can feel 'em flying like a hand out

Yeah, it's all we've been given,
so you better start livin' right now,
'As days go by. Ooh, ooh.
I wanted the roof just the other night,
I watched the world flash by.
Headlights, tail-lights runnin' through a river,
Of neon signs, mmm, mmm.
But somewhere in the rush I felt:

I can feel 'em flying like a hand out
the window in the wind.

so you better start livin' right now,
An' days go by. Oh yeah, ooh, ooh.
Yeah, the days go by, ooh, ooh.
We think about tomorrow,
Then it slips away, oh yes it does.
We talk about forever,
But we've only got today.

I can feel 'em flying like a hand out
the window as the cars go by.
It's all we've been given,
so you better start livin',
You better start livin',
Better start livin' right now.

I can feel 'em flying like a hand out
the window in the wind.

It's all we've been given,
so you better start livin' right now,
As days go by. Ooh, ooh,
Yeah, as days go by, Ooh, ooh.
Oh, so take 'em by the hand,
they're yours an' mine.
Take 'em by the hand an' live your life.
Take 'em by the hand, don't let them all fly by
C'mon, c'mon now. Yeah, c'mon, Ooh, ooh.
Don't you know that days go by.
