Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
For once in my life I realized
What I've been given, in an instant
I don't need this to end to understand
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
I don't want to blink, I can't close my eyes
These are the best years of our lives
I don't wanna to sleep while I'm alive
I don't wanna miss a thing tonight
I don't wanna blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink
I don't wanna blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink
Oh oh
I don't wanna, oh yeah
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
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
I don't want to blink, I can't close my eyes
These are the best years of our lives
I don't wanna to sleep while I'm alive
I don't wanna miss a thing tonight
I don't wanna blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink
I don't wanna blink, blink (I don't wanna)
No, I don't wanna blink, blink (ooh yeah)
Can't stop, won't stop, give me some more
So many things that I wanna explore
Years ahead, more, we were put in for
Now I know, so let's go
I don't want to blink, I can't close my eyes
These are the best years of our lives
I don't wanna to sleep while I'm alive

I don't wanna blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink
I don't wanna blink, blink
No, I don't wanna blink, blink
I don't wanna blink, blink
