Smell The Roses Lyrics

Smell The Roses lyrics

I've been livin in a room without windows

Away from the sun, no oxygen

I couldn't tell if it was day or night

Away from the sun, growing
nowhere fast

Rushing along on the pavement

Don't even look at the
people's faces, going places



When an old man said stop

You
nearly stepped on a flower

Growing through the cracks

And you
didn't even notice



Chorus:

Wake up smell the roses

Life is happening and you don't know it

Wake up, take a moment

Grab it in your hands... and own it



I realise our love is like
that flower

Been neglecting the thing most precious to me

You've
been talking but I haven't been listening

The static in the noise been
drowning you out

I so wanna be in the future

That I keep
tripping

Over my own shoe laces

In these human races

And i'm
brought back to now

And the volume goes down

There's peace in his
words as loud as a shout sayin'



[Chorus]



He says



[Chorus]



Like your birthday I forgot

I was with
you

But I was not... really there

Snap your fingers, that's your
life

Not gonna let it pass my by no

When an old man said stop

You nearly stepped on a flower

Growing

Through the cracks

And you didn't even notice



[Chorus]
