Moving Too Fast Lyrics

JAMIE

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 analyze 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

But 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'tregret 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
