Carpe Diem

We drank White Russians at the Firkin
Then took a cab to some far away land (She said…)
There’s something more
Just let me show ya
The night was turning into more than I’d planned
Always looking for adventure
Life is short, so we’d better start living
I found a glitch in Carpe Diem
It’s kinda tricky when the ground starts spinning

Looking back, I don’t wanna forget
Say I wasted my life
Or that I’m full of regret
I’ve had enough of feeling tired 'n alone
Always waiting for that sign
At the side of the road

So, lead me out into the Wild
She took my my hand, I felt my heart start beating
We danced for hours in the moonlight
I fell in love again with Yesterday’s Child
Wasn’t looking for adventure
Life has a funny way of working things out
There’s so much more
Just let me tell ya
It’s never quite whatcha think it’s about

Looking back, you don’t wanna forget
Say you wasted your life
Or that you’re full of regret
Aren’t you sick of feeling tired n’ alone
Always waiting for that sign
At the side of the road

So, through the trees there was this clearing
Where the canopy did part
Like the kind you find in fairytales, or
See in works of art
At its center stood a massive Oak
Just swaying in the breeze
But, glowing with a thousand lights
Like fireflies for leaves

Earth my body
Water my blood
Air my breath
Fire my spirit

Come away, O human child
Feel the rhythm of the Wild
Let it sink beneath your skin
And stir your spirit deep within
Up from the ashes you did rise
To the dust you will return
Today the choice is yours
You've gotta let that passion burn

Earth my body
Water my blood
Air my breath
Fire my spirit

Now I know you must be thinking
You were drunker than I thought
But, I swear it happened just like that
True say
I kid you not
I’d even take you there myself
If I recalled from where I came
Still I know one thing’s for certain
Life’ll never be the same, ‘cuz

Looking back, I don’t wanna forget
(So, don't forget)
Say I wasted my life
Or that I’m full of regret
(Say no regret)
I’ve had enough of feeling tired n’ alone
(You're not alone)
Always waiting for that sign
At the side of the road
(Don't wait too long)

Looking back, you don’t wanna forget
(So, don't forget)
Say you wasted your life
Or that you’re full of regret
(Say no regret)
Aren’t you sick of feeling tired n’ alone
(You're not alone)
Always waiting for that sign
At the side of the road
(Don't wait too long)
