Days pass me by just like moments   they're here and then they're gone for good   for good   I work so hard at where I'm going   I wonder what I've missed   I can't remember the last time   I picked up the phone just to talk for hours on end   I've sent a birthday card unbelated   Maybe I should slow it down      (Chorus)   Life doesn't wait for us   to get it right day after night   It just goes on when it goes wrong   it goes and then it's gone   So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it   avoid regrets   take a breath   realize   Time is irreversable   this ain't no dress rehearsal      I've always got a big to do list   oh but there's so much more to do, to see   I want to know that I didn't leave "I love yous" trapped within my heart   There won't always be another day to   say all the things you wanna say   so don't, don't wait for the perfect situation   It will never come around      Life doesn't wait for us   to get it right day after night   It just goes on when it goes wrong   it goes and then it's gone   So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it   avoid regrets   take a breath   realize   Time is irreversable   this ain't no dress rehearsal      When the show is over   and they lay me down   I wanna be remembered   for the love I spread around      Life doesn't wait for us   to get it right day after night   It just goes on when it goes wrong   it goes and then it's gone   So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it   avoid regrets   take a breath   realize   Time is irreversable   this ain't no dress rehearsal      This ain't no dress rehearsal
