Talking Heads – Once In A Lifetime Lyrics 8 years ago
I think it is partly about how life is a lottery as to where and what we are born into but most of us strive and work hard to achieve the big house,beautiful wife,fancy car,good job and chase the money(capitalist rat race) and yet these things won't necessarily make us happy.
We should be spending our short time here trying to enjoy the moments and appreciate our loved ones etc.because those are the things that can really make us happy.

I think your interpretation of this song is excellent and is kinda similar to how I see it.
I think it means we kind of go with the flow of life and accept what it gives us and while living we have some really special moments that we don't fully appreciate at the time then when you look back at those moments you think where did my life go....why did I not appreciate those moments/make the most of them at the time and you can't go back and change them (regrets) the past is gone and life goes on.
