Stop Smelling the Roses

See all the pictures, all the posts
Perfect houses, perfect clothes
You're getting married, that's so great
Another baby's on the way
And time is slipping away

If I stop my world for a minute
Yours will keep on spinning
Is it wrong to want to take stock
Of what I have in this moment?
Will I lose it all if I pause to catch my breath
When did we all
Stop smelling the roses

Take a look in my own home
I still have boxes filled with clothes
Not a picture on the wall
No record of my life at all
And time is slipping away

If I stop my world for a minute
Yours will keep on spinning
Is it wrong to want to take stock
Of what I have in this moment
Will I lose it all if I pause to catch my breath?
When did we all
Stop smelling the roses

New city, new job
Bigger paycheck, parking spot
Rich with things but poor in love
It won't ever be enough

If I stop my world for a minute
Yours will keep on spinning
Is it wrong to want to take stock
Of what I have in this moment
Will I lose it all if I pause to catch my breath?
Will I lose it all if I pause to catch my breath?
When did we all
Stop smelling the roses
Stop smelling the roses
Stop smelling the roses
