I know I'm not the only one who's chasing down
this runaway afternoon
If we all grab on,
could we slow it all down?
Do you share these memories of breaking waves
and windy days and whispering trees
All these rows of homes,
did they have to build them right here?
Don't mind me--
I'm just tryin' to get you to see
That it'll be all right;
Just turn the satellites off tonight
You said the crowded fields were no big deal
I never understood what you were talking about
All these rows of homes,
did they have to build them right here?
You tell me tales of pressure sales
I never understood what you were bragging about
Follow me outside,
I think that we can slow it all down.
Don't mind me--
I'm just tryin' to get you to see
That it'll be all right;
Just turn the satellites off tonight.
