lyrics

keeping time to the beat of the drum
the lights come up and I’m feeling so numb
I’m sweating bullets and my throat is kind of tight
I strike a chord and I scream out loud
the band responds like a punch in the mouth
and then I smile as I step into the light

and now i want to slow this down
before it all comes crashing down
in an all consuming fire that will kill us all
cause you know it never lasts
when were living way too fast
and before you know the lights go out and then were done

it’s almost over but it’s never done
we’re pushing ten and it's part of the fun
the crowd is roaring and I’m reaching for the sky
I count to 2 then three and the four
I jump up high then I fall on the floor
the lights go out and then I start to cry

and now i want to slow this down
before it all comes crashing down
in an all consuming fire that will kill us all
cause you know it never lasts
when were living way too fast
and before you know the lights go out and then were done

Now the second hand is turning fast
on the march of time that I just can’t make it last
I would rather burn out now
than fade away tonight

and now i want to slow this down
before it all comes crashing down
in an all consuming fire that will kill us all
cause you know it never lasts
when were living way too fast
and before you know the lights go out and then were done
