I'm stuck in the slow lane, watching time accelerate
Like a record skipping, I'm just trying to find my place
The sun is setting on my youth, and I'm left with the haze
Of memories that linger, like the smell of a forgotten summer day
Yeaaahhhh
Slow and drawn out
We're burning out, like a firework in the night
The days are flying by, like fragments of a broken light
We're trying to hold on tight, but it's hard to keep the fight
Yeaaahhhh
Kick up the energy
We're chasing the ghosts of our former lives
But soon we'll be nothing more than a distant memory tonight
I'm searching for a way to slow it down, to make it last
But time is a river, and I'm just trying to grab the glass
I'm clinging to the moments, like a lifeline in the dark
Trying to make sense of it all, before it leaves its mark
Yeaaahhhh
Slow and drawn out
We're burning out, like a firework in the night
The days are flying by, like fragments of a broken light
We're trying to hold on tight, but it's hard to keep the fight
Yeaaahhhh
Kick up the energy
We're chasing the ghosts of our former lives
But soon we'll be nothing more than a distant memory tonight
I'll take one last look around, at the world I used to know
Before I let go of the reins, and let someone else take control
I'll cherish every moment, every laugh and every tear
And hope that they'll remember me, when they're standing here
Yeaaahhhh
Slow and drawn out
We're burning out, like a firework in the night
The days are flying by, like fragments of a broken light
We're trying to hold on tight, but it's hard to keep the fight
Yeaaahhhh
Kick up the energy
We're chasing the ghosts of our former lives
But soon we'll be nothing more than a distant memory tonight
And as the sun sets on another day
I'll look back on the memories, and wonder where did it go?
The days flew by like autumn leaves, and now it's time to let go
