Blink and its Gone

Verse 1

Woke up to the sunlight climbing through the blinds

Coffee on the counter, running out of time

Everybody's racing, chasing something new

While I'm standing in the middle trying to hold on to the view

Pictures in my phone, moments I forgot

Funny how the little things are all I've really got

The days keep turning over like pages in the wind

I keep saying "one day" while another day begins

Pre-Chorus

So slow down, slow down

Before it fades away

The things we're always looking for

Might be here today

Chorus

'Cause it all goes by in a heartbeat

One laugh, one touch, one memory

We're counting down tomorrow

While today slips through our hands

So hold on to the people

Hold on to the nights that shine

'Cause life can change in a second

Blink and it's gone

Blink and it's gone

Verse 2

We spend our time wishing for the weekend to arrive

Then wonder where the months went when another year flies by

The streets we used to wander, the songs we used to know

Become the kind of stories that only old friends told

Every little chapter, every open door

Every "see you later" becomes a little more

Than something in the moment that we never thought we'd miss

Now I'd give anything just to feel some of it again

Pre-Chorus

So slow down, slow down

Before it fades away

The things we're always looking for

Might be here today

Chorus

'Cause it all goes by in a heartbeat

One laugh, one touch, one memory

We're counting down tomorrow

While today slips through our hands

So hold on to the people

Hold on to the nights that shine

'Cause life can change in a second

Blink and it's gone

Blink and it's gone

Bridge

Maybe we don't need to have it figured out

Maybe all that matters is the here and now

The stars above, the voices in the dark

The tiny things we carry in our hearts

Maybe someday looking back we'll finally see

The best days weren't ahead of us, they were underneath our feet

Final Chorus

'Cause it all goes by in a heartbeat

One laugh, one touch, one memory

We're counting down tomorrow

While today slips through our hands

So hold on to the people

Hold on to the nights that shine

'Cause life can change in a second

Blink and it's gone

Hold on to the feeling

Hold on a little longer tonight

'Cause life can change in a second

Blink and it's gone

Blink and it's gone

Outro

Blink and it's gone

So don't let it pass you by

Blink and it's gone

Like a fire across the sky

Blink and it's gone

But the memories carry on

Blink and it's gone...

Blink and it's gone...
