I have come to learn that life rarely stops for anyone,
And if you need a sec to catch your breath,
You better to get ready to chase down the train and jump back on

And the sliding door will be closing
And if you don’t run fast enough,
You’ll see your only chance of escape fly right by you

But I have learned that sometimes to-do lists offer respite,
And that person you never noticed may hold open the door for you,
And even wait until your shoe is tied before closing it

And that’s when the struggle to find happiness, some meaning to life
Comes a little bit closer to ending
And I guess that’s what makes it all worth anything
