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]
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
He says
[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
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]
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
You looked at me and saw what I never could see
You made me feel more than I thought I could ever be
And when I needed a friend you were always there to lift me up
To make me strong
You’re not gone
You’re still here
With me all the time
You’re still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we’ll never be apart
You’re still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart
Because of you I knew how it felt to be loved
You made me feel beautiful ’cause you believed I was
And I will never forget how you touched my life
You made me feel like I belong
You live on
You’re still here
With me all the time
You’re still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we’ll never be apart
You’re still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart
All my life
You’ll be in my life
You’ll be part of me
I’ll just think of you and you’ll still be
You’ll still be here
Still here
You’re with me all the time
You’ll still be here
Still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we’ll never be apart
You’re still here in my heart
You’re still…
I still feel you
And we’ll never be apart
You’re still here in my heart
In my heart
In my heart
In my heart
Still here
Rubbing salt in my wounds
Like it don’t hurt, like it don’t hurt me
Your sweet bitter love songs
That seduce me with a sinister beat
I’m bringing out the worst in you
It was never my intention to
That was just unfair to do
Salt in my wounds
Getting burned up
With the negative heat
How can I stay mad with you?
When I’m so in love with you
I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some how
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no
Are you looking for a way out?
Are you looking for an exit?
It seems like all the fuss you’re making
Is a sign that you’re not quite sure
Well, I don’t recommend you to
Coz what we got’s to good to lose
And I can tell you know that too
Or is it just aggravation
You’re picking on me
You’re rubbing salt in my wounds
How can I stay mad with you?
When I’m so in love with you
I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no
I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no
Maybe just a kind word now and then
Could turn it around and make us a happy end
But if this is it and the moment is gone
Well then I guess I must have just got it wrong
Wise as it sounds it just doesn’t make sense
And as long as it takes I’m gonna keep on trying
Coz I’m not giving up on us
I’m not giving up, no
How can I stay mad with you?
I’m not giving up, no
When I’m so in love with you
I don’t know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I’m not giving up, no
No way, no way
I’m not giving up, no
No way, no way
I’m not giving up, no
