The sand in the hourglass keeps drippin' away
Yeah, you can turn it over, but the feeling stays the same
So let's get carried, let's get carried away
Set my mind on fire like a metal in a microwave

'Cause life's been comin' in (so slow)
I'm startin' to fade (you know)
Need somethin' tangible (to hold)
Before I slip away

Graffiti on the overpass says there's no escape
This driver job is boring, and my girlfriend's kinda lame
So let's get carried, let's get carried away
Yeah, get me glam, stomp, heavy metal, or radio wave

'Cause life's been comin' in (so slow)
I'm startin' to fade (you know)
Need somethin' tangible (to hold)
Before I slip away

'Cause life's been comin' in (so slow)
And I don't wanna wait (no more)
Need somethin' physical (to hold)
Before I slip away

I like to go fast
Not slow
Need to get high
Not low, low, low

'Cause life's been comin' in (so slow)
I'm startin' to fade (you know)
Need somethin' tangible (to hold)
Before I slip away

Yeah, life's been comin' in (so slow)
And I don't wanna wait (no more)
I need somethin' physical (to hold)
Before I slip away
