Moving Too Fast - Jeremy Jordan
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
The 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 find 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't regret it
I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it
My heart's been stolen
My ego's swollen
I just keep rollin' along oh yeah
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
