Moving Too Fast

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 turning 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 flyin' 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 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 get 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 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
 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
