I took a trip but I was not on a vacation ♪ I sat face to face with my love but I didn't see him Staring out at the Grand Canyon Oh, but I was just so busy planning the places I go
We race out the door of our youth and wave back to our mothers
We take on the world and stop taking them telephone calls We see them again every Christmas till there's not another Oh, I wish I had known
Birds don't know that they're singing Fish don't know that they're swimming No one knows the beginning We don't know that we're living Oh, that we're living
I wish I could see my life like it looks in the pictures
The sky really is that blue and the grass is that green I had everything that I wanted, now I wanna go back 'Cause it was right there when I wasn't Birds don't know that they're singing Fish don't know that they're swimming No one knows the beginning We don't know that we're living No, we're living, no Oh no, that we're living Birds don't know that they're singing Fish don't know that they're swimming Oh, no one knows the beginning We don't know that we're living No, we forget that we're spinning Hold onto what you're giving 'Cause no one knows when it's ending We don't know that we're living ♪ Oh, that we're living We don't know (we don't know we're living) Oh, that we're living
