Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • And you take a nap
  • And you wake up and you're twenty-five
  • And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
  • Don't blink, you just might miss

Echo the hook

  • Don't blink
  • Life goes faster than you think
  • So don't blink
  • Life goes faster than you think
don'tblinkyou're
