Light Speed

Born blind 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 It's 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 of packed lunch Getting whooped in the playground slashed up Comin' home after school on the last bus Back then it was all about last Hit the corner store for the new Fleer packs Mom 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 know 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 yeah 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 wit 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 backpack I 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 know 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' everyday 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 Its 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 know You don't need to go so fast
