Smell The Roses Lyrics - Nb - Natasha Bedingfield

I've been livin in a room without windows 

Away from the sun, no oxygen 

I couldn't tell if it was day or night 

Away from the sun, growing nowhere fast 

Rushing along on the pavement 

Don't even look at the people's faces, going places 

When an old man said stop 

You nearly stepped on a flower 

Growing through the cracks 

And you didn't even notice 

Wake up smell the roses 

Life is happening and you don't know it 

Wake up, take a moment 

Grab it in your hands... and own it

I realise our love is like that flower 

Been neglecting the thing most precious to me 

You've been talking but I haven't been listening 

The static in the noise been drowning you out 

I so wanna be in the future 

That I keep tripping 

Over my own shoe laces 

In these human races 

And i'm brought back to now 

And the volume goes down 

There's peace in his words as loud as a shout sayin' 

Wake up smell the roses 

Life is happening and you don't know it 

Wake up, take a moment 

Grab it in your hands... and own it 

He says 

Wake up smell the roses 

Life is happening and you don't know it 

Wake up, take a moment 

Grab it in your hands... and own it 

Like your birthday I forgot 

I was with you 

But I was not... really there 

Snap your fingers, that's your life 

Not gonna let it pass my by no 

When an old man said stop 

You nearly stepped on a flower 

Growing 

Through the cracks 

And you didn't even notice 

Wake up smell the roses 

Life is happening and you don't know it 

Wake up, take a moment 

Grab it in your hands... and own it 

Wake up smell the roses 

Life is happening and you don't know it 

Wake up, take a moment 

Grab it in your hands... and own it
