Faster Days

Slow down girl
 It's a funny old world
 We've got everything but we can't have it
 It's true you know we're passing through all alone
 It wasn't so long ago
 That we were afraid
 Afraid that life would keep us waiting
 Afraid that we would keep on taking
 Back seat rides through our home town lies
 Where every trip's a dead end street
 And baby here we are
 How did we get this far?
 Before we closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
 You try to escape
 The person you are
 Though we change our scene and keep on trying
 We can't ever take back the years
 Of love we gave, love we made
 And all the love that brought us here
 And baby here we are
 How did we get this far?
 Before we closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
 And when everything's given, forgiven, forgotten
 Forget that we lost the trail
 If there's love that we've started
 Don't leave it half-hearted
 Like unsolicited mail
 Have we finished our past?
 Did we finish our present?
 Don't wash it away like it's dirt
 If we hide from the truth we'll get hurt
 Don't lock it all away
 I know we were young
 With so much to learn
 We thought we understood the contradictions of love
 The innocent generations lost in sand
 One day we'd understand
 Though we may run we cannot hide
 Cause baby here we are
 How did we get this far?
 Before we closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
 Closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
 We Closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
 Closed our eyes and prayed for faster days
