From the day you were born
You've been planning your funeral
If you go to fast
Then you're bound to lose control
When you gonna learn that life's not a god damn race?
You've met plenty of people
You don't even know one of them
Even though everyday
You're right in front of them
You're just running so fast they can't see your face
So just stop
Don't worry about your life
And have a little fun
Stop
Don't fret about your strife
Just because you cross the finish line first doesn't mean you've won
Oh, won
Well, you never take time
To look up at the stars at night
You bought a telescope and
You think that makes it right
You're just trying too hard to round the next bend
You got plenty of money
And you spend a lot of it
Even though you have
No idea what you bought with it
You're just running so fast you can't see the end
So just stop
Don't worry about your life
And have a little fun
Stop
Life doesn't have to be a sacrifice
Just because you cross the finish line first doesn't mean you've won
Oh, won
When the end comes, all the people will say
She used to pass by me everyday
I went to greet her but she's gone before I could try
Or maybe, he was a nice guy, always so generous
If you had a problem, he'd say, I'll handle this
But he never realized his life had past him by
So just stop
Don't worry about your life
And have a little fun
Stop
Life doesn't have to be a sacrifice
Just because you cross the finish line first doesn't mean you've won
Oh, won
