Speed

© 1998 Brian Hutzell

Time stops. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Stops long enough for a little break

Then moves on under clearing skies

And a better sense of the give and take that keeps us strong

When we recognize

What needs to be done for love’s sake, before it’s gone

In a situation like this, what we need is a little more speed

In a situation like this, what we need is a little more speed

I get anxious when I think about my day

And the things I need to do and say

So much to squeeze into a limited space

Looking for a wayto fix the race

Running fast as I can just to stay in place

Don't know if I can keep up this pace cause I’m nervous

Look my hands--see how they shake

In a situation like this, what we need is a little more speed

In a situation like this, what we need is a little more speed

You keep me grounded, and you keep me sane

But my problems are compounded when you hear me complain day after day

It shouldn’t be this way

I stop when I feel your touch, and you tell me you are leaving

Time clock I'm supposed to punch, but I’ve got other dealings

You need attention and you need to know

That it’s my intention to take it slow

In a situation like this, what we need is a little less speed

In a situation like this, what we need is a little less speed
