Let This One Slide

I knew a man who got mad at a volcano
He had a meeting and it got right in his way
Worked himself up 'til they heard something in his head blow
The doctor's say he might get home someday

He lived his whole damned life flat out and medicated
Man on a mission to own everything
He fell to pieces being hyper motivated
I wonder now if he might change some things

You can spend your time complaining bout the weather
You can waste away planning for whenever
You can spend all day shouting at the road
Or let it take you where it goes

This time I'm gonna think things over
I think I might let this one slide
Let go the reins enjoy the ride

I got to wonder what it is that really matters?
What are we aiming for, what do we win?
If we should gain the world but leave ourselves in tatters
You can't go back and try all over again

You might think that time doesn't do you any favors
You might think that life needs to learn to behave
But I hope you'll find what you want it doesn't matter
It's what you do that is your saving grace

This time I'm gonna think things over
I think I might let this one slide
Let go the reins enjoy the ride

Can you manke amends?
Can you make the time?
Can you pretend this is the last day of your life?

You can spend your time complaining bout the weather
You can waste away planning for whenever
You ca spend all day shouting at the road

This time I'm gonna think things over
I think I might let this one slide
Let go the reins enjoy the ride
