|
Born blond in the winter with an empty head |
|
The snow covered up the Camry, the whole house slept |
|
Drawing pictures in the bed |
|
Waking up and racing down the stairs, trying to catch my breath |
|
Was so simple; Superman, trick or treat, wet socks |
|
Bike rides in the summer to the best spots |
|
Coulda sworn I was king of the best odds |
|
Runnin round with the dogs in the back yard |
|
Growin never knowin what the past done |
|
Livin life like the mystery, a packed lunch |
|
Getting whooped in the playground, scratched up |
|
Comin home after school on the last bus |
|
Back then it was all about laughs |
|
Hit the corner store for the new Fleer packs |
|
Mine was a religion and happiness was a fact |
|
It's a shame how the time goes past |
|
Movin so fast |
|
It's like I'm movin at lightspeed |
|
Slow down |
|
You need to slow down |
|
Every once in a while sometimes |
|
You'll see how the world goes round |
|
You need to slow down every once in a while |
|
Cause you don't know, you don't |
|
No, you don't need to go so fast |
|
Things changed in the pop shop got an offer |
|
Packed up moved out down to Colorado |
|
Sunshine clean air not a lot of problems |
|
And that's when I discovered pogs and tamagachi |
|
Time past and the friends found punk yah |
|
Oh whatever man a lot of it was junk |
|
But we loved it made us feel cool little dumb kids |
|
Runnin round just for fun doin dumb shit |
|
I was lightin all my candles on both ends |
|
Warren lake getting drunk with the friends |
|
I was tryin to stay positive even though I pretended it |
|
It helped cause at home I was lackin a happy ending |
|
For all, saw a lot of tall trees fall |
|
In the name of an addiction my sister taught me to follow |
|
I cracked, cleaned up and got the bags packed |
|
And swore that I would never go back |
|
Movin' so fast |
|
It's like I'm movin' at lightspeed |
|
Slow down |
|
You need to slow down |
|
Every once in a while sometimes |
|
You'll see how the world goes round |
|
You need to slow down every once in a while |
|
Cause you don't know, you don't, |
|
No, you don't need to go so fast |
|
Eighteen I decided I was done with it |
|
Hit Seattle with a head full of drum rhythms |
|
Falling in and out of love with these young women |
|
Thinkin they could make a change of the blood given |
|
Nah, I was too young too face it |
|
Workin two jobs still thinking I could make it |
|
Local all star still singin from his basement |
|
Finally got a shot and I've been workin every day since |
|
Found love in a city where the angels fly |
|
Put a record out with Josh One made out clime |
|
Came home after two years and playin out rhymes |
|
Just to find my little angel was no more mine |
|
Parted ways with a friend was not easy |
|
Made a leap to the future it got queasy |
|
Started workin on the things that had lost reason |
|
Now I'm sittin with a pad |
|
Movin so fast |
|
It's like I'm movin' at lightspeed |
|
Slow down |
|
You need to slow down |
|
Every once in a while sometimes |
|
You'll see how the world goes round |
|
You need to slow down every once in a while |
|
Cause you don't know, you don't, |
|
No, you don't need to go so fast |
