Lyrics
There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives
Highlighting the numerous things often overlooked in our daily lives.
We're so busy hustling, bustling, chasing far-away dreams
Describing the hectic nature of life, consumed by distant aspirations.
We forget the little things
Emphasizing the tendency to neglect the smaller, meaningful aspects of life.
Like blue skies, green eyes, and our babies growing
Mentioning specific "little things" like blue skies, green eyes, and the growth of our children.
Like rainbows, fresh snow, and the smell of summer
Further listing overlooked joys such as rainbows, fresh snow, and the scent of summer.
We forget to live
Stressing the consequence of this neglect, which is a failure to truly live.
Give us eyes like children so we live each day as others
Expressing a desire for childlike perception, valuing each day as a new experience.
We're so sure we know so much that we forget to listen
Noting the arrogance in thinking we know everything, leading to neglecting the art of listening.
Then we wonder fickle things
Reflecting on frivolous concerns like fleeting pleasures, quick energy sources, and excessive consumption.
Like cheap thrills, fast fuel, and constant consumption
Pointing out distractions like TV, CDs, and personalized cars, diverting attention from meaningful living.
Like TV, CDs, and cars that speak our names
Reiterating the theme of forgetting to truly experience life amid distractions.
We forget to live
(Repetition of the line about forgetting to live)
There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives
Rephrasing the initial lines to underscore the abundance of overlooked aspects in daily life.
We're so busy hustling, bustling, chasing far-away dreams
Repeating the description of a fast-paced life chasing distant dreams.
We forget the little things
Reiterating the central theme of neglecting the small, significant details in life.
Like blue skies, green eyes, and our babies growing
(Repetition of the line mentioning specific "little things")
Like rainbows, fresh snow, and the smell of summer
(Repetition of the line listing overlooked joys)
We forget to live
(Repetition of the line stressing the consequence of neglecting these little things)
