Lyrics:

IT’S THE SPEED OF EVERYTHING,
THAT TURNS AGE INTO A FEELING.
AND IF YOU’RE STUCK ON ‘OLD AND SLOW’ LIKE ME, MANY THINGS WILL LOSE THEIR MEANINGS.
WILL IT BE YOU THAT’S GOING TO CUT THE TIES, THAT YOU WRAPPED YOURSELF UP IN NICELY, LIKE A PRESENT, A BITTERSWEET SURPRISE
TO YOURSELF.
AND I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO SAY
WHEN THERE’S NO TIME TO ADJUST.
YES, I’M ALWAYS AT MY STRANGEST,
BECAUSE THERE’S HARDLY TIME BETWEEN US.
HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS ENERGY GOING NOWHERE, DEALING SPARKS LIKE A BAD HAND,
LIKE A STRAY DOG THAT HEARS YOUR CALL,
YET WON’T FOLLOW YOUR COMMAND.
LIKE A STRAY DOG WHO LOST AN EYE TO SELF-CONTENT.
NOW HE’S ALL STITCHED UP, RESISTING HIS OWN DUMB DEMANDS. LIKE A STRAY DOG. TEMPTED TO TRUST IN HELPING HANDS,
BUT I MUST SAY, YOUR CALL SOUNDS A WHOLE LOT LIKE COMMANDS.
IT ALWAYS LEAVES ME SUSPICIOUS.
OF MY ABILITIES TO CONNECT
AND OF YOU, WHO ALWAYS COMES ACROSS SO PERFECT. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE,
BUT MY MIND IS A TRAP
WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL,
DRIVING ME CRAZY
DRIVING ME OFF THE MAP.
LIKE A STRAY DOG WHO LOST AN EYE TO SELF-CONTENT.
NOW HE’S ALL STITCHED UP, RESISTING HIS OWN DUMB DEMANDS. LIKE A STRAY DOG. TEMPTED TO TRUST IN HELPING HANDS,
BUT I MUST SAY, YOUR CALL SOUNDS A WHOLE LOT LIKE COMMANDS.
