So Soon

Moakler Steve

I used to roam these streets with a bicycle and my bare feet
till the street lights cast their shine
or my dad would say it's time to eat
there were rocks that I turned over
some I just left in the dirt
I fall and skinned my knees
and that was all I knew of her
I was just learning how to dot my i's and cross my t's
couldn't wait to turn the tide
so never thought i'd be
I started chasing happy ever after
Every step that I got closer clouds kept moving faster
faster
next thing that I knew
there were angels and they caught my eye
and I drive to their houses
bring them flowers red and white
but hearts are misunderstood
people told me love would hurt me
never thought it would
I started chasing happpu ever after
I learned a lesson and the clouds keep moving faster
faster
It went up so fast, my youth
it blames my hour glass
is empty on its side
it left before I said goodbye, goodbye
my mother called today
she asked me if my bills were paid
tears ran down her face
to hear a man in her boys place
boy would you look at you now
people told me this would happen
but never told me how
you find your way and I couldn't run after
every inch that you grow taller clouds keep moving faster
faster
