100 Miles an Hour

Everyone I see runs 100 miles an hour
Living like there's no tomorrow
But me I still have time to borrow
I often think too much what happened yesterday?
And how we used to run and play
Now I don't see anything
I wish we could go back to the starting line
Could we turn back time?
And if we could I'd see more sights
Try to live a little
Maybe pick some fights
And maybe I could learn to be not so shy would you agree?
And maybe then I'd come to know a life more dangerous and not so slow
Everyone it seems runs 100 miles an hour
Living like their heads on fire
You'd think their life's about to expire
But I prefer life in the slower driving lane
I'm not in any rush to pain
There's no desire to go insane
I wish we could go back to the starting line
Could we turn back time?
And if we could I'd see more sights
Try to live a little
Maybe pick some fights
And maybe I could learn to be not so shy would you agree?
And maybe then I'd come to know a life more dangerous and not so slow

Take the last train out of here into the night, away from fear, before it's gone
We're going to break the locks on all the stocks and set them loose, the madmen we've locked up
People come and people go, they can terrorize and often show us something new about ourselves
They feed the monsters in our brains until we lock them up again, labeled never to be seen
So break them down, the barriers, the constrictors, the people that tether us to the ground
And with this sound we can see…
If you were talking to me, would everybody be free?
If I were talking to you, what would you choose to do with me…?
There will come a time when everything you felt inside is suddenly different and these things you cannot hide
Everything is different now, there's almost no rhyme or reason how these changes can all come about
Well the thing to remember then is not to worry too much my friend because it will all subside
And suddenly it's the reality you choose to live by
No more hiding from yourself you see, it's just a part of life for you and me
So wave goodbye to everyone and everything you thought you knew because now you're someone new
And if you were talking to me, who would you choose to be?
And if I were talking to you, what would I choose to do and be? Something different completely? I don't know

A Funny Kind of Feeling

Come now don't you cry
Don't you wet those eyes
You've got all the time in the world
Please don't you grow up to be anything like me
I, I don't have it all figured out
Baby girl, I am always here for you
I'll never leave you all alone
Don't you be afraid to run into the fray
Don't you give up on your dreams
Cos darling you can be, anything you want to be
It just takes a little pain
Don't you make a sound
Put your worries down
Think of me, and this song
Think of good times gone
