You say, "Hello", I say, "Goodbye"
You go your way and I go mine
There's not much time for you and I these days

We work too hard, we're gone too much
And we're too tired to even touch
So just how long can we go on this way

Oh life's too short to love this fast
If we don't slow down our hearts won't last
We can't keep up this pace we're on right now

We burn the candle at both ends
The circle turns, we start again
Let's make our future better than our past
Life's too short to love this fast

Let's take some time, let's get away
Let's pack our bags and leave today
Girl anyplace would be okay right now

Just leave your pager here at home
And I won't carry my cell phone
We need to find some time alone somehow

Yeah life's too short to love this fast
If we don't slow down our hearts won't last
We can't keep up this pace we're on right now

We burn the candle at both ends
The circle turns, we start again
Let's make our future better than our past
Life's too short to love this fast

We're spinnin' our wheels
Forgetting how love feels
Let's slow down before it gets too late

'Cause life's too short to love this fast
If we don't slow down our hearts won't last
Let's make our future better than our past
Life's too short to love this fast
Love this fast, life's too short to love this fast
