lyrics

Two thousand watts of black coffee
Pumpin’ through my veins
Ideas at the speed of light
Flashin’ through my brain
The only thing I can’t speed up Is catching up on sleep
I can’t stop thinking now
I think I’m in too deep

Life moves so fast
Moments never last
Right now is now the past
See what I mean?
Every second slips away
Then a hour, then a day
No way to make them Stay
Except in dreams

I am really trying
To keep up this pace
But I think I need a break
From this crazy race
My to-do list
Is never getting done
Is that just how it is?
Am I the only one?

Life moves so fast
Moments never last
Right now is now the past
See what I mean?
Every second slips away
Then a hour, then a day
No way to make them Stay
Except in dreams

Slow it down
Hit the brake
This pace we’re livin’
Is more than I can take

Life moves so fast
Moments never last
Right now is now the past
See what I mean?
Every second slips away
Then a hour, then a day
No way to make them Stay
Except in dreams
