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
