Lyrics
The world's moving faster than the thoughts in my head
Cannot slow either of 'em down
So I try to watch a single leaf float in the river
Rushes by while I’m stuck on solid ground
Everything's in motion, water and time
Each idea that's ever crossed someone's mind
You'd think if I moved faster I could match the world's pace
or change the hearts of presidents and kings
Flying through a day blows right past its meaning
Could miss out seeing winter turn to spring
Everything's in motion, more like a wave
Rising, cresting, crashing, nothing left to save
It takes so long to slow down enough to feel
Or clear my heart enough to make a dent
Seems to me that progress isn't worth its weight in feathers
If all it brings is more discontent
Everything's in motion, more every day
Catch the world’s reflection before it goes away
