Ten Days

10 days left and I don't know why

I ever felt the need to fly

Down the highway that Wednesday night

9 days left and I'm home alone

My parents won't pick up

The goddamn phone

Because they're disappointed

In the prodigal son

8 days left and I'm spent working

Off the money that I spent doing

Stupid things never cost me anything

Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down

Because life passes you by faster

With every mile per hour you go

7 days left and that just week

I never knew I could feel so weak

From doing nothing yet

Everything never wanted to do

6 days left and I'm still alive

When I wake up tomorrow it'll five

And five will melt into 4 more reasons

Why I never learned to swim

4 scores and 7 years ago

Our founding fathers

Had a desire to know

What penalties lay awaiting

For an unsuspecting self-respecting boy

Slow Down, slow down, slow down, slow down

Because life passes you by faster

With every mile per hour you go

3 days left now and I'm riding

My Gary Fisher everywhere I go

Taking the slow road

Is always worth your wait in gold

2 days left and I'm starving

Starving from what I can't decide

Will my hunger fade with the sunset

And the rising tide?

1 day left and I can almost

Smell cucumber melon in your hair

As you knowingly stare at a familiar face

As replace your thoughts

Of what a bad person I really am

Of what horrible person I am

Cause faster spells disaster

In a language known to many hearts

Grown with regret

And if you consider yourself wise

My story you shall never forget
