When you're spinning-plate's late
Instead of kicking-leaves-late
Hunker down until you find a spark
Make time to make good stories
To write the fireside songs
Put a spring in your step
Go out and have some fun (have some)
Good times and carry-ons
There's light left in the day (in the day, in the day, in the day)
Enough to bloom
Don't look so deep inside
Gaze outward to the horizon (ah)
Halfway to heaven or hell (ah)
Enjoy the ride
It's time to get your skates on
We're only here for so long
Time to get your skates on
We're here and then gone
Are we nearly there yet? (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Well, we don't always know (la-la-la-la-la-la)
What lies around the corner (la-la-la-la-la-la)
So, go and take some air
Don't take a rain check, do it now
Make those memories (ah-ah-ah)
Live your dreams
We're just a flare on a lens
The house will still be dusty (ah-ah)
When the kids have flown (ah-ah)
When you are gone
On and on, seasons fly
Leaves will fall and wells run dry
Keep your chin up, don't give up
Go out on your shield as far as you can
Whoa!
The kids were rubbing-eyes-tired
The hours were filled with fun
Those days are long behind us
Here and then gone
Time to get your skates on
We're only here for so long
Time to get your skates on
We're here and we're gone
Here and gone
