There was this guy, his name was James, we'll call him Jim for the sake of conversation
Jim is a guy who had something that he always something he wanted to do, but everyone told him not to bother
well life walked by and well it gave Jim a kick in the head a few times here and there
and Jim always got up and wondered why he always offered up his face

Don't throw your life away, come take a look outside it's such a beautiful day
Don't throw your life away, come take a look outside it's such a beautiful day

I used to know this girl called Sally, she had fun in a pretty un-fun kind of way
She used to sit in an office all day and make coffee wishing she was doing something else
You see the thing about Sally is that Sally had an amazing gift, something special to offer
But because she never got up, never tried, she never knew

Don't throw your life away, come take a look outside it's such a beautiful day
Don't throw your life away, come take a look outside it's such a beautiful day

There are a lot of people out there and not all of them are right
Some of them are wrong
I'm not gonna say which ones but we know who they are, oh yeah
You know, there's tall people, small people, wide people,narrow people, all different kinds of people
We can never know what they want or what's good for them
But one thing we all know, is we know what WE want.

Don't throw your life away, come take a look outside it's such a beautiful day
Don't throw your life away, come take a look outside it's such a beautiful day
