Missing the World
Glowing lights on faces
As the world passes by
No one ever looks up
And I cannot understand why
When will you realize
Your time on Earth is so short
One blink of an eye, and it's gone
So while you're missing the world
And all of its imperfections
You should take in all of the wonders that surround us
So while you're missing the world
You've lost time with the ones you love
And soon your loved ones are gone
They'd died or moved on
And you've lost your chance to share a moment... never to return
Words are not spoken
Avoiding eye contact
Connected to the world
But cut-off from reality
Talking face-to-face
Breathing your surroundings
Don't trust the digital images
Just your own eyes
So while you're missing the world
And all of its imperfections
You should take in all of the wonders that surround us
And while you're missing the world
You've lost time with the ones you love
And soon your loved ones are gone
They'd died or moved on
And you've lost your chance to share a moment... never to return
It's not too late
There are connections to break
When the digital distractions are gone
Life opens up its arms
See the world around you
Breathe in those around you
In the few years you have left
Don't miss this chance
So while you're missing the world
And all of its imperfections
You should take in all of the wonders that surround us
So while you're missing the world
You've lost time with the ones you love
And soon your loved ones are gone
They'd died or moved on
And you've lost your chance to share a moment... never to return
As the world passes by
No one ever looks up
And I cannot understand why
When will you realize
Your time on Earth is so short
One blink of an eye, and it's gone
So while you're missing the world
And all of its imperfections
You should take in all of the wonders that surround us
So while you're missing the world
You've lost time with the ones you love
And soon your loved ones are gone
They'd died or moved on
And you've lost your chance to share a moment... never to return
Words are not spoken
Avoiding eye contact
Connected to the world
But cut-off from reality
Talking face-to-face
Breathing your surroundings
Don't trust the digital images
Just your own eyes
So while you're missing the world
And all of its imperfections
You should take in all of the wonders that surround us
And while you're missing the world
You've lost time with the ones you love
And soon your loved ones are gone
They'd died or moved on
And you've lost your chance to share a moment... never to return
It's not too late
There are connections to break
When the digital distractions are gone
Life opens up its arms
See the world around you
Breathe in those around you
In the few years you have left
Don't miss this chance
So while you're missing the world
And all of its imperfections
You should take in all of the wonders that surround us
So while you're missing the world
You've lost time with the ones you love
And soon your loved ones are gone
They'd died or moved on
And you've lost your chance to share a moment... never to return
