[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] I woke up late, another day is gone, Same four walls, but somehow months moved on. The pictures on my phone are getting old, And every year I swear I'm getting told That I should slow down, take a look around, But I'm always somewhere else when life comes down. I keep saying I'll do it tomorrow, Then tomorrow turns into another year of sorrow. [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know where the hours went, Or how the time got so expensive. I keep trying to hold on tight, But everything keeps passing by. [Chorus] I'm watching the time fly, Right in front of my eyes. Trying to make these moments last, But they disappear too fast. I'm watching the time fly, While I'm just trying to get by. I keep waiting for the perfect day, But the days keep getting away. [Verse 2] We used to stay up talking until three, Now everybody's got somewhere to be. Old friends turned into names I rarely call, And somehow we all grew up after all. There's a jacket hanging where you used to stand, I still remember holding your hand. I never thought we'd end up this far apart, Funny how a few years can change everything you thought. [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know where the hours went, Or how the time got so expensive. I keep trying to hold on tight, But everything keeps passing by. [Chorus] I'm watching the time fly, Right in front of my eyes. Trying to make these moments last, But they disappear too fast. I'm watching the time fly, While I'm just trying to get by. I keep waiting for the perfect day, But the days keep getting away. [Bridge] Maybe I spent too much time looking back, Thinking about everything I should've had. Maybe I don't need to know what's next, Maybe I just need to make this moment count instead. If tonight is all I've got, I'm not gonna waste another thought. [Breakdown] [Acoustic guitar builds] I'm done waiting for tomorrow, I'm done wishing time would slow. If I keep watching from the sidelines, I'll miss everything I know. [Final Chorus] I'm watching the time fly, Right in front of my eyes. I'm gonna make these moments last, Before they become the past. I'm watching the time fly, But I'm finally asking why. I've been waiting all this time, Now I'm gonna make this life mine. [Outro] [Instrumental] Watching the time fly... I'm not letting it pass me by.
