Not to say that we're not fortunate to be born
To a world that encourages us to grow
But sometimes perpetual motion moves so slow
Hungry for a change of scenery
You drive North in search of snow
Were you prepared for certain shadows to follow you
Everywhere that you go?

Your body's been decaying all this time
And now it finally starts to show
And are you having second thoughts about that path that you chose?
Now that the fire in your eyes has burned down like coals
To a warm consistent glow
Well, hey, that smoke has cleared, you've regained the use of your nose

So take take a second now to stop and smell the roses
Just like you never thought you had time, but always thought that you should
At least for now it's okay to take life in smaller doses
Something new has come to town, seems like he's doing you good

And I've come to a new town
Yeah, sure, it's somewhat the same
It feels good to be aware of but still not focused on the cause behind that pain
And sometimes when the mood is right it feels
Like every inch and nothing's changed
But in some way that not for one second has stayed the same
So you remember to eat dinner
Remember to feel better
Remember your friends, they'll think that you forgot them
If you only write secret letters
Remember not to focus on
Those feelings that you lack
You just might give yourself a heart attack
