Carpe Diem
Phineas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well we hope you all enjoyed the show
Hope it was not anti-climatic
And there's something we want you to know
And we don't want to sound didactic

But there's one thing left to say
I guess it sounds a bit cliché
There's no such thing
As just an ordinary day

And you don't have to build a roller coaster
To find your own way to make the most of
These days of summer
Get down and dance to a different drummer
Gotta grab those opportunities when you see 'em
Every day's a brand new day, baby, Carpe Diem

And you don't have to build a roller coaster
To find your own way to make the most of
Every minute
No more waiting for the right time, you're in it
Just grab those opportunities when you see 'em
Every day's a brand new day, baby, carpe diem
Yeah yeah
Every day's a brand new day, baby, carpe diem
Yeah yeah
Every day's a brand new day, baby, carpe diem
Yeah yeah




Every day's a brand new day
Carpe diem
