It Goes Fast
Life's Velocity: Embracing Moments Before They Vanish
Lyrics
I remember training wheels my feet couldn’t reach the pedals
I recall using training wheels when I couldn't reach the pedals.
I can’t forget how it made me feel it don’t last forever
I can't forget the fleeting nature of that experience; it doesn't last forever.
My Dad was right there with me his hand on my back
My Dad was present, supporting me with his hand on my back.
Always keep that with me please don’t let me go cause it goes fast
Request to hold on, expressing the desire not to be let go because time passes quickly.
It goes fast so fast faster than that bike could ever go
Life moves swiftly, even faster than the bike referenced earlier.
I can’t go back so I’m not gonna ask
No desire to go back; acceptance that the past is irreversible.
The time that we’re livin’ on is borrowed
A realization that the time we have is limited or borrowed.
You told me to slow down cause it goes fast
A reminder to slow down in life, given the rapid pace of time.
When I turned sixteen my Mom drove me to school for the last time
A reminiscence of the last time the mother drove the speaker to school at sixteen.
She handed me the keys
The mother handed over the car keys, symbolizing a transition to independence.
Said I’ve gotta let you know that it goes fast
A parental advice acknowledging the fleeting nature of life.
It goes fast so fast faster than that car could ever go
Life moves fast, even faster than the car mentioned earlier.
I can’t go back so I’m not gonna ask
Embracing the present without dwelling on the past.
The time that we’re livin’ on is borrowed
Recognition that time is limited, and we are living on borrowed time.
She told me to slow down cause it goes fast
A repeated advice, urging the speaker to slow down in the face of life's rapid pace.
I wish life came with caution signs cause nothing goes faster than time
Expressing a wish for life to come with warnings, emphasizing the unstoppable nature of time.
It goes fast so fast faster than that kid could ever grow
Life progresses rapidly, even faster than the growth of a child.
I can’t go back so I’m not gonna ask
No desire to return to the past; an acknowledgment that time is fleeting.
The time that we’re livin’ on is borrowed
Reiteration of the idea that our time is borrowed, urging caution in how it is spent.
You told me to slow down
A direct reminder to slow down in life.
you told me to slow down
A repetition of the advice to slow down, underscoring its importance.
Cause it goes fast
A conclusive statement emphasizing the swiftness of time.
