Natasha Bedingfield - Smell the Roses lyrics
[Natasha Bedingfield - Smell the Roses lyrics]
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
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 realize 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 shoelaces
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'
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 said
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
He said 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
Wake up, smell the roses
(Just 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
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
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 realize 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 shoelaces
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'
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 said
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
He said 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
Wake up, smell the roses
(Just 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
