I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."
Don't blinkJust like that you're six years old 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 your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth
Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old 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 your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
I've been tryin' ta take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in
Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old 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 your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster then you think
So Don't blink
Naw, don't blink, don't blink
Life Goes Faster Than You Think
Don't Blink...

I'm not about to take off without saying anything this time, but do either of you mind if I go to New York for New Year's? It's been a year since we were there and I've been wanting to go back for a while. Ending the year and starting the new one there kind of sounds like a good idea right now. After Christmas is over, can I go? I'd like to see if Lily wants to come with me too.
Dad, can I stay in the penthouse? Sometimes I miss it there. //unlocked//

I'm checking with my parents to make sure they don't mind, but would you like to take off for a while? I know I haven't been the best boyfriend ever since San Diego but I'd love it if you could come with me. I want to go to New York for New Year's. Come with me, please? //unlocked//
