You say hello, I say goodbye   You go your way and I go mine   There's not much time for you and I these days   We work too hard, we're gone too much   And we're too tired to even touch   So just how long can we go on this way      Oh, life's too short to love this fast   If we don't slow down our hearts won't last   We can't keep up this pace we're on right now   We burn the candle at both ends   The circle turns, we start again   Let's make our future better than our past   Life's too short to love this fast      Let's take some time, let's get away   Let's pack our bags and leave today   Girl, anyplace would be okay right now   Just leave your pager here at home   And I won't carry my cell phone   We need to find some time alone somehow      Yeah, life's too short to love this fast   If we don't slow down our hearts won't last   We can't keep up this pace we're on right now   We burn the candle at both ends   The circle turns, we start again   Let's make our future better than our past   Life's too short to love this fast      We're spinnin' our wheels   Forgetting how love feels   Let's slow down before it's too late      'Cause life's too short to love this fast   If we don't slow down our hearts won't last   Let's make our future better than our past   Life's too short to love this fast      (Life's too short to love this fast)   Love this fast   (Life's too short to love this fast)   Life's too short
