Moving Too Fast

歌詞

Did I just hear an alarm start ringing? Did I see sirens go flying past? Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing I've got a singular impression Things are moving too fast I'm gliding smooth as a figure skater I'm riding hot as a rocket blast I just expected it ten years later I've got a singular impression Things are moving too fast And you say, "Oh, no Step on the brakes Do whatever it takes But stop this train Slow, slow! The light's turing red" But I say, No! No! Whatever I do I barrel on through And I don't complain No matter what I try I'm flying full speed ahead I'm never worried to walk the wire I won't do anything just "half-assed" But with the stakes getting somewhat higher I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast I found a woman I love And I found an agent who loves me Things might get bumpy but Some people an*lyze every detail Some people stall when they can't see the trail Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail But I keep rollin' on Some people can't get success with their art Some people never feel love in their heart Some people can't tell the two things apart But I keep rollin' on Oh, oh maybe I can't follow through oh, oh what else am I supposed to do? I dreamed of writing like the high and mighty Now I'm the subject of a bidding war I met my personal Aphrodite I'm doing things I never dreamed of before We start to take the next step together Found an apartment on Seventy-Third The Atlantic Monthly's printing my first chapter Two thousand bucks without rewriting one word I left Columbia and I don't regret it I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it My heart's been stolen My ego's swollen I just keep rollin' along And I think Well, well, what else is in store? Got all this and more before twenty-four It's hard not to be sure I'm spinning out of control Out of control I'm feeling panicked and rushed and hurried I'm feeling outmaneuvered and outclassed But I'm so happy I can't get worried About this singular impression I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast
