I don't mind when you say
That I'm going away
Everybody is okay
What you don't know
Is so elementary

Is it going very fast
When you're falling on your last gas
Maybe next time we can hold on
Where we're going isn't far
And eventually

The sun in the sunset
You're starting to forget
The turning of summer
Game over you're upset
The signs in the hallway
The car on the driveway
These kids have it made up
The fire the madness

Oh it's so slow
But I hope
Life will flow away

Oh it's so slow
But I know
Life's a rope away
