LYRICS
Climbing trees and counting days, I couldn't wait for summer break
So I could stay up way too late and ride my bike forever
Then Suddenly I'm counting down to wearing graduation gowns
Dreams too big for this small town but I'll always remember

When dad said one more thing before you go
I can tell you're in a hurry just wanted you to know

You can't slow it down, so look around
And drink in every moment
They'll be gone before you know it
You can't see it now, but the years fly by
Nothing moves faster than the speed of life

Got three odd jobs that don't make sense, they're just enough to make the rent
I missed a call from home again when I was out with friends
Another trip around the sun I'm pretty sure I met the one
So I bring him home for Christmas to see what grandma says

She tells us that loves leap of faith
Make sure you enjoy these early days

You can't slow it down, so look around
And drink in every moment
They'll be gone before you know it
You can't see it now, but the years fly by
Nothing moves faster than the speed of life

There were moving vans and wedding bells
Nursery rhymes and show and tells
Family photos hanging on the wall
There were fishing trips and football games
Sweet sixteen and first heart breaks
And all soon, I hear myself say

You can't slow it down, so look around
And drink in every moment
They'll be gone before you know it
You can't see it now, but the years fly by
Nothing moves faster than the speed of life
