Everybody’s headed somewhere And they want to get there faster but I’m taking my I’m taking my sweet time I used to be in such a hurry So much, so quick, so sick with worry now I’m taking my I’m taking my sweet time I don’t need to solve the maze I’ll stretch like a shadow and fade like the haze I’ll work all day but I won’t deliver I’ll grow like a tree in the LA river Everybody’s selling something Looking for the highest bidder but I’m taking my I’m taking my sweet time I don’t need to solve the maze I’ll stretch like a shadow and fade like the haze I’ll work all day but I won’t deliver I’ll grow like a tree in the LA river Everybody’s selling something Looking for the highest bidder but I’m taking my I’m taking my sweet time ‘Cuz everything is shoots and ladders And someone else telling me what matters so, I’m taking my I’m taking my sweet time I’m taking my I’m taking my sweet time

Good morning afternoon Good morning afternoon, I didn’t think that I’d be Seeing you so soon Wasn’t it just eleven Half a minute ago? I thought the day was moving slow I thought the day was moving Wasn’t it just eleven Half a minute ago?

I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to What am I supposed to say? What am I supposed to do? Normally I’d just ask you, but We haven’t spoken, we haven’t spoken Would you say what you always say It’s better if we tell the truth Well look at what the truth has done, Your heart is broken, your heart is broken and What good is I didn’t mean to When I see you looking like you do What good is I didn’t mean to When I see you looking like you do Ohh, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to Ohh, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to Ohh, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to Ohh, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to I didn’t mean to

Blackberries growing on a chain link fence Cool breezes blowing through an open door Sidewalks are cracking in the midday sun Adams Morgan, 1991 Cold pizza waiting in the kitchen fridge Blue pilly carpet on an endless floor Warm light is streaming where the children run Adams Morgan, 1991 Cows ride bicycles across the sky And Madam’s watching us from up on high Down Kalorama with an ice cream cone Fine office markers that I shouldn't touch Dad’s new computer looks like so much fun Adams Morgan, 1991 Schoolyard graffiti of the Scooby gang Wild secret garden with a chlorine pool Long rowhouse shadows when the day is done Adams Morgan, 1991 Long children’s faces when the day is done Adams Morgan, 1991

Anything can happen, It’s up to luck and our imagination Anything can happen, let’s jump the track and guess our destination Well I like to be prepared and when I can't be I get scared but you make me sure Anything can happen Anything can happen Anything can happen Anything can happen Anything can happen Well I like to be prepared and after everything we’ve shared You make me sure You make me sure You make me sure

Something’s up ahead Just around the bend I remember when I felt Just a little bit younger than our friends But they've gone on ahead And I've been left behind That's fine I’ll just find my own way to the end Something’s up ahead Just around the bend Something’s up ahead Just around the bend Something’s up ahead Just around the bend
