You say hello, I say goodbye

You go your way and I go mine

There's not much time for you and I these days

We work too hard, we're gone too much

And we're too tired to even touch

So just how long can we go on this way



Oh, life's too short to love this fast

If we don't slow down our hearts won't last

We can't keep up this pace we're on right now

We burn the candle at both ends

The circle turns, we start again

Let's make our future better than our past

Life's too short to love this fast



Let's take some time, let's get away

Let's pack our bags and leave today

Girl, anyplace would be okay right now

Just leave your pager here at home

And I won't carry my cell phone

We need to find some time alone somehow



Yeah, life's too short to love this fast

If we don't slow down our hearts won't last

We can't keep up this pace we're on right now

We burn the candle at both ends

The circle turns, we start again

Let's make our future better than our past

Life's too short to love this fast



We're spinnin' our wheels

Forgetting how love feels

Let's slow down before it's too late



Cause life's too short to love this fast

If we don't slow down our hearts won't last

Let's make our future better than our past

Life's too short to love this fast



Love this fast

Life's too short
