Lyrically, the song has an uplifting and positive me...
[Verse 1]
For once in my life I realized
What I've been given
In an instant
I don't need this to end to understand
That I'm gonna miss it
Gonna miss it
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe how the minutes keep passing us by
Better live my life
Here in the moment just own it and don't think twice
Let's go
[Chorus]
I don't wanna blink, I can't close my eyes
These are the best years of our lives
I don't wanna sleep while I'm alive
I don't wanna miss a thing tonight
I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
[Verse 2]
There used to be a time when I was blind
I had no vision, wouldn't listen
Now every heartbeat is tellin' me
That I'm on a mission to make a difference
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe how the minutes keep passing us by
I better live my life
Here in the moment just own it and don't think twice
Let's go
[Chorus]
I don't wanna blink, I can't close my eyes
These are the best years of our lives
I don't wanna sleep while I'm alive
I don't wanna miss a thing tonight
I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
Ooh
[Bridge]
Can't stop, won't stop, gimme some more
So many things that I wanna explore
Isn't that what we were put here for?
Now I know
So let's go
[Pre-Chorus]
(Don't wanna blink, I don't wanna blink)
(I don't wanna blink, I don't...)
[Chorus]
I don't wanna blink, I can't close my eyes
These are the best years of our lives
I don't wanna sleep while I'm alive
I don't wanna miss a thing tonight
I don't wanna blink, I can't close my eyes
These are the best years of our lives
I don't wanna sleep while I'm alive
I don't wanna miss a thing tonight
I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink, blink
I don't wanna blink, blink, blink (I don't wanna)
No, I don't wanna blink, blink (Ooh, ooh yeah)
