Bright and early in the morning and my day’s on track
Hot coffee in the kitchen okay I’ll take it black 
66 degrees with a comfortable breeze 
I guess every now and then you get days like these 
And I’m thankful hit the city streets grateful 
We're living life to the utmost while were young and able 
While others fable about where they come from 
We’ve got nothing to hide we’re far from stardom 

(chorus)
P-a–t-a-s-k-a-l-a O-h-i-o

We never did anything in that place 
Just wasted time talking about what we do if given the chance to 
Stupid things that we’d never live out 
But sure was cool for a moment to think about 
You could say just some innocent exaggeration 
Just some young adults at fault by imagination 
But some how we stretched ourselves and started living it 
Life it’s funny sometimes isn’t it 
We’re in the sky on a plane over European terrain 
Looking down to the ground we watch the Earth change 
At night in the car overlooked by afar 
Thinking to ourselves none of this is really ours 
Perspective changes we could never claim this life 
Yahweh spoke and showed us what our aim is 
Something that wasn’t alive by heartbeat and breath 
And something that’s not left with bone and flesh

(chorus)

Life is too short to sweat the minimal 
And things that once seemed simple now seem valuable 
Like the simple satisfaction in being content 
Or the simple satisfaction in the time we spent 
I value everything that our friendship meant 
Even though you never paid me back the money I lent 
Speaking of which the other day your Mom I saw her 
I had to tell her Scott Bellows still owed me fifty dollars 

(chorus)
