I've been livin in a room without windows Away from the sun, no oxygen I couldn't tell if was day or night Away from the sun, growing nowhere fast Rushing along on pavement Don't even look at the people's faces, going places
When an old man 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 it
I realise our love is like that flower Been neglecting the thing most precious to me You've talking but I haven't been listening The static in the noise been drowning you out 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 the volume goes down There's peace in his words loud as a shout sayin'
[Chorus]
He says
[Chorus]
Like your birthday I forgot I was with But I was not... really there Snap your fingers, that's your life Not gonna let it pass my by no When an man said stop You nearly stepped on a flower Growing Through the cracks And you didn't even notice
