<poem>Had another birthday,
<poem>Had another birthday
Could've been the worst day I ever had
Could've been the worst day
Got a little drunk, and I fell into a funk  
I ever had
Got a little drunk
And I fell into a funk  
And I woke up sad
And I woke up sad
Looked into the mirror;
Looked into the mirror
there were lines around my eyes
There were lines around my eyes


Time flies
Time flies
When you’re having fun
When you’re having fun
When you live on the run
When you live on the run
The harder I go, the more I realize...
The harder I go, the more I realize
Time flies
Time flies


Life is moving fast, and I’m running out of gas
Life is moving fast
And I’m running out of gas
Time ain’t on my side
Time ain’t on my side
I’m still in the race, and I’m barely keeping pace
I’m still in the race
But it’s worth the ride,
And I’m barely keeping pace
Waiting round the corner,
But it’s worth the ride
Waiting round the corner
There’s another sweet surprise  
There’s another sweet surprise  


Hey yeah
Time flies
When you’re having fun
When you live on the run
The harder I go, the more I realize
Time flies
 
Hey, yeah
Time flies  
Time flies  


Some sad day,
Some sad day
They’ll be taking me away,
They’ll be taking me away
But I won’t be dead.
But I won’t be dead
'Cause even when I’m gone,
'Cause even when I’m gone
this stupid damn song will be in your head
This stupid damn song
I’ll be looking down with a twinkle in my eyes</poem>
Will be in your head
I’ll be looking down
With a twinkle in my eyes


Time flies
When you’re having fun
When you live on the run
The harder I go, the more I realize
Time flies</poem>
