Dress Rehearsal

Days pass me by just like moments

They're here and then

They're gone for good, for good

I work so hard at where I'm going

I wonder what I've missed?

I can't remember the last time

I picked up the phone just

To talk for hours on end

Or sent a birthday card unbelated

Maybe I should slow down

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right

Day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong

It goes and then it's gone

So, I'm gonna do my best

To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah

Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible

This ain't no dress rehearsal

I've always got a big to-do list

Oh, but there's so much more

To do, to see, I want to know

That I didn't leave, I love you's

Trapped within my heart

There won't always be another day to

Say all the things, say all the things

You wanna say, so don't, don't wait

Wait for the perfect situation

It will never come around

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right

Day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong

It goes and then it's gone

So, I'm gonna do my best

To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah

Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible

This ain't no dress rehearsal, yeah

When the show is over

And they lay me down

I want to be remembered

For the love I spread around

Life doesn't wait for us to get it right

Day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong

It goes and then it's gone

So, I'm gonna do my best

To make the most of it, avoid regret, yeah

Take a breath, realize, time is irreversible

This ain't no dress rehearsal

This ain't no dress rehearsal
