Every single car on the New Jersey Turnpike
Has their hazards flashing for a fireworks display
I'll stop and watch it but I'm
Too busy thinking of every single chance that I was too afraid to take
Life gets in the way of living
And interrupts the could of, would of, should of
That I ask myself each day
Where I've spent my time
And how I'm spending it
Or if I'm simply wasting it away
So while I sat there motor humming on the shoulder
I thought I'd find a pen and start to write my failures out
But then the lights were gone
And both sides of the paper were full
So, hazards off
Turn signal on
Gas pedal down
Life gets in the way of living
And interrupts the could of, would of, should of
That I ask myself each day
Where I've spent my time
And how I'm spending it
And if I'm simply wasting it away
Life gets in the way of living
And interrupts the could be, would be, should be
That we're offered everyday
And now that you and I've been given what we've wanted
Let's make a pinky swear that we don't throw it all away.
