The Last 5 Years movie - Moving Too Fast lyrics
rate me<br>
JAMIE<br>
Did I just hear an alarm start ringing?<br>
Did I see sirens go flying past?<br>
Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing<br>
I've got a singular impression<br>
Things are moving too fast<br>
<br>
I'm gliding smooth as a figure skater<br>
I'm riding hot as a rocket blast<br>
I just expected it ten years later<br>
I've got a singular impression<br>
Things are moving too fast<br>
<br>
And you say, "Oh, no<br>
Step on the brakes<br>
Do whatever it takes<br>
But stop this train<br>
Slow, slow! The light's turing red"<br>
But I say: No! No!<br>
Whatever I do<br>
I barrel on through<br>
And I don't complain<br>
No matter what I try<br>
I'm flying full speed ahead<br>
I'm never worried to walk the wire<br>
I won't do anything just "half-assed"<br>
But with the stakes getting somewhat higher<br>
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast<br>
<br>
I found a woman I love<br>
And I found an agent who loves me<br>
Things might get bumpy but<br>
<br>
Some people analyze every detail<br>
Some people stall when they can't see the trail<br>
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail<br>
But I keep rollin' on<br>
<br>
Some people can't get success with their art<br>
Some people never feel love in their heart<br>
Some people can't tell the two things apart<br>
But I keep rollin' on<br>
<br>
Oh, oh - maybe I can't follow through<br>
But oh, oh - what else am I supposed to do?<br>
<br>
I dreamed of writing like the high and mighty<br>
Now I'm the subject of a bidding war<br>
I met my personal Aphrodite<br>
I'm doing things I never dreamed of before<br>
<br>
We start to take the next step together<br>
Found an apartment on Seventy-Third<br>
The Atlantic Monthly's printing my first chapter<br>
Two thousand bucks without rewriting one word<br>
<br>
I left Columbia and I don'tregret it<br>
I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it<br>
My heart's been stolen<br>
My ego's swollen<br>
I just keep rollin' along<br>
<br>
And I think<br>
Well, well, what else is in store?<br>
Got all this and more before twenty-four<br>
It's hard not to be sure<br>
I'm spinning out of control<br>
Out of control<br>
<br>
I'm feeling panicked and rushed and hurried<br>
I'm feeling outmaneuvered and outclassed<br>
But I'm so happy I can't get worried<br>
About this singular impression<br>
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast<br>
<br>
