I took a trip, but I was not on a vacation
I sat face to face with my love, but I didn't see him
Staring out at the Grand Canyon
Oh, but I was just so busy planning the places I'll go

We race out the door of our youth and wave back to our mothers
We take on the world and stop taking their telephone calls
We see them again every Christmas till there's not another
Oh, I wish I had known

Birds don't know that they're singing
Fish don't know that they're swimming
No one knows the beginning
We don't know that we're living
Oh, that we're living

I wish I could see my life like it looks in the pictures
The sky rеally is that blue and the grass is that green
I had evеrything that I wanted, now I wanna go back
'Cause it was right there when I wasn't

Birds don't know that they're singing
Fish don't know that they're swimming
No one knows the beginning
We don't know that we're living
Know we're living, no
Oh no, that we're living

Birds don't know that they're singing
Fish don't know that they're swimming
Oh, no one knows the beginning
We don't know that we're living

No, we forget that we're spinning
Hold onto what you're giving
'Cause no one knows when it's ending
We don't know that we're living

Oh, that we're living
We don't know, we don't know
We're living
Oh, that we're living
