Jet Pack

I get caught up in what I'm trying to capture
 Always after the green grass in the next pasture
 What kinda master? The steps to avoid disaster
 Sometimes I get gassed up and let life blast past, but yo
 Before I'm Casper, I'ma learn to read the whole chapter
 Tears and the laughter, not to steer faster
 'Cause I'm here, not the hereafter
 So I have to deal with the fear factor, yo
 I'm not lying, some days are terrifying
 So many folks so overwhelmed, they barely trying
 F on their assignment, left without arriving
 We all die, but only some live, ya best dive in
 There's pressure in the deep end, but it's better than sleeping
 Working for the weekend, wonder where your dreams went, yo
 Not letting mine pass me, I take my time
 Fear feels like gravity, I stay fly
 Time flies like it had a jet pack
 Pieces of our lives that we never get back
 No excuse, 'cause the days never stop
 Gotta squeeze out the juice, better taste every drop
 Time flies like it had a jet pack
 Pieces of our lives that we never get back
 Don't let setbacks make you blind to the facts
 Unwind and relax, take your time (take your time)
 (Take your time, take your time)
 I, every once and a while, sit with pals and get nostalgia
 Cracking on the past, we laugh about it, it's wild, kid
 'Cause I thought it felt as good going through it
 I wish that we could only knew it
 It's so stupid how we hope for the future
 Pine for the old days
 And get so distracted with our mind looking both ways
 We don't stay in the now and really feel
 The one spot that gets ignored, like Achilles' heel
 Till we peel back the dust
 Just like old photos get faded, so does
 This moment if you don't notice it
 Waited too long, now it's just a memory
 It's here in this song, somehow, and it'll never be back
 Instead of react, you'll only respond
 In the bleachers, watching reruns while the game's going on
 It's basic, people race time to chase it
 But it's wasted if you don't take time to taste it
 Time flies like it had a jet pack
 Pieces of our lives that we never get back
 No excuse, 'cause the days never stop
 Gotta squeeze out the juice, better taste every drop
 Time flies like it had a jet pack
 Pieces of our lives that we never get back
 Don't let setbacks make you blind to the facts
 Unwind and relax, take your time (take your time)
 (Take your time, take your time)
