Gary Faires - Shutter lyrics

[Chorus] I want to blink like a shutter Blink like a shutter Stop time like a photograph Appreciate the things that pa** By in an instant Minute after minute Every day. Give me a way To make the good things stay [Verse 1] It happens every time one of mine Breaks the seal on some new deal Landmark, milestone ­­ always prone To look for one more stride from home Progress, bigger shoes New wheels, faster meals Excitement in the eyes of the speed demon Make tracks, blow steam, and then scream freedom New rewards for days, months, years survived Alive, and pointed straight ahead to old wishes Fewer riches, piles of dirty dishes Any given day's the same But you always know So slow to young eyes but surprise ­­ Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Where did the time go? [Chorus] I want to blink like a shutter Blink like a shutter Stop time like a photograph Appreciate the things that pa** By in an instant Minute after minute Every day. Give me a way To make the good things stay [Verse 2: Dustinfool] Flashing by, my life is But this moment is so timeless Trying to live while I'm alive And make this time worth pa**ing by ‘cause I remember where I was Doing what I love Filling up my membrane With things that are worth remembering I wish time would just stop But the seconds keeping moving Living my life through snapshots Fun things that I'm doing I'm using all of my focus so I can live my life in color And I always put it down like a finger on a shutter I need a little time stamp A way to look back I need a way to document this no look path You need a new lens, a new look, a new light (all right) You got two eyes, open wide, open mind (damn right) A new lens, a new look, a new light (all right) You got two eyes, open wide, open mind (damn right) [Chorus] I want to blink like a shutter Blink like a shutter Stop time like a photograph Appreciate the things that pa** By in an instant Minute after minute Every day. Give me a way To make the good things stay [Verse 3] Hard to break the shell and get the juice of everyday Wake up, get dressed, nothing makes you say hey Sinister minutes blur into hours while you pay no mind Trying to find your keys before the stores close (Time goes by) Another day lived among your faves, nothing saved or savored Well you paid a few bills but you tasted no flavor That's the treachery we lose to Losing moments as breaths ‘cause we're used to (Because we're used to) So let me blink like a shutter Sing it like a stutter, like a refrain Go ahead and sing it again So let time fly, I'll take notes, keep it on the up high No gentle good night, I'll take a strobe light ­­ Light up and freeze my time Before it slides right by Before it slides right by [Chorus] I want to blink like a shutter Blink like a shutter Stop time like a photograph Appreciate the things that pa** By in an instant Minute after minute Every day. Give me a way To make the good things stay
