I've closed the curtains On many a dawn And buried my dreams in my bed Chances most would thrive upon I've frowned upon instead It may be just a little too late For me to return to my youth But I've stumbled enough Along the way to stumble upon the truth See what happens when you stall Or when you start too late Oversleep your wake up call Or pick a fight with fate You may find you've missed the ball By waiting at the gate So as long as life's too short Take advantage Spend your days all turned around And miss what lies ahead Have your heart so tightly bound That not a word is said If your feet stay on the ground Then all alive is dead So as long as life's too short Take advantage How many chances do you get Before you're done Well ask the man, the foolish man Who had his hands on one He'll tell you how he passed it by It didn't matter then But he'd give the whole entire world To have that chance again Sometimes what you're looking for Is not wrapped up in gold Miss a certain glance and you're Without a hand to hold Some don't find out what's in store Until they're far too old So as long as life's too short So as long as life's too short Take advantage
