Lyrics
Enjoy Every Sandwich
I'm not sure what "happy" means
I live my life like a dumb machine
Workin' hard until I overload
Now I'm wonderin' what I hold dear
and what I will be leavin' here
When it's time for me to go
oh, there's no time to waste
no, there's no time for hate
There's no time, no time to waste
Enjoy Every Sandwich
Love every day
We may not think it's important now
but time sneaks up on us somehow
That's why I say...
Enjoy Every Sandwich
Dreams are often out-of-reach
You're in the Alps, they're at the Beach
That's how we think
'n' Love is always lost or found
It's up, it's down, it's all around
'n' that's a good thing
oh there's no time to waste...
Enjoy Every Sandwich
It's loud 'n' clear
I gotta make the most of every day
Before I hear someone say, "Hey, your ride's here!"
Enjoy Every Sandwich
No, there's no time to waste...
Enjoy Every Sandwich
Love every day
I think I know what "happy" means
I won't live my life like a dumb machine
Now it's easy to say
There's no time to waste, No time for hate
At the risk of sounding so Mraz
With all this optimistic jazz
Repeat after me...
Enjoy Every Sandwich!
