Goes So Fast

Objects in the mirror are nearer than they appear, now We hold these things to be true Been behind the wheel for many, many years now I got a message for you You know it goes so fast - There ain't no way to make it last By the time you try to grasp it, life's already lapsed into the past I met my lover blazin' in that California weather Teens on the beach, we decided we would stay together Our friends and family thought it was a travesty, but They got accustomed to it over half a century You know it goes so fast - There ain't no way to make it last By the time you try to grasp it, life's already lapsed into the past I rode my motorcycle home from campus at Sonoma Some bastard ran me over, tried to leave me in a coma I learned a lesson on that ambulance run... Tomorrow's not a promise life will make to anyone He drove away so fast - He left me limpin' in a cast I wonder if he ever got free from the shitty Karma he amassed? I couldn't help but notice we had started having children So proud of how they have grown We did our best to raise them, guess we managed not to kill them Now they've got kids of their own You know it goes so fast - There ain't no way to make it last By the time you try to grasp it, life's already lapsed into the past
