Lightspeed Lyrics - Together/apart - Grieves

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
