Lightspeed

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

Its like im 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 whiiiiiile

Cuz you don't know you don't know

You don't need to goooo 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 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

Its like im 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 whiiiiiile

Cause you don't know you don't know

You don't need to goooo 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 ive 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 im sittin with a pad Movin so fast

Its like im 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 whiiiiiile

Cause you don't know you don't know

You don't need to goooo so fast
