I get caught up in what I'm trying to capture
Always after the green grass in the next pasture
What kinda master? The steps to avoid disaster
Sometimes I get gassed up and let life blast past, but yo
Before I'm Casper, I'ma learn to read the whole chapter
Tears and the laughter, not to steer faster
'Cause I'm here, not the hereafter
So I have to deal with the fear factor, yo
I'm not lying, some days are terrifying
So many folks so overwhelmed, they barely trying
F on their assignment, left without arriving
We all die, but only some live, ya best dive in
There's pressure in the deep end, but it's better than sleeping
Working for the weekend, wonder where your dreams went, yo
Not letting mine pass me, I take my time
Fear feels like gravity, I stay fly
Time flies like it had a jet pack
Pieces of our lives that we never get back
No excuse, 'cause the days never stop
Gotta squeeze out the juice, better taste every drop
Time flies like it had a jet pack
Pieces of our lives that we never get back
Don't let setbacks make you blind to the facts
Unwind and relax, take your time (take your time)
(Take your time, take your time)
I, every once and a while, sit with pals and get nostalgia
Cracking on the past, we laugh about it, it's wild, kid
'Cause I thought it felt as good going through it
I wish that we could only knew it
It's so stupid how we hope for the future
Pine for the old days
And get so distracted with our mind looking both ways
We don't stay in the now and really feel
The one spot that gets ignored, like Achilles' heel
Till we peel back the dust
Just like old photos get faded, so does
This moment if you don't notice it
Waited too long, now it's just a memory
It's here in this song, somehow, and it'll never be back
Instead of react, you'll only respond
In the bleachers, watching reruns while the game's going on
It's basic, people race time to chase it
But it's wasted if you don't take time to taste it
Time flies like it had a jet pack
Pieces of our lives that we never get back
No excuse, 'cause the days never stop
Gotta squeeze out the juice, better taste every drop
Time flies like it had a jet pack
Pieces of our lives that we never get back
Don't let setbacks make you blind to the facts
Unwind and relax, take your time (take your time)
(Take your time, take your time)
