about

A song about being a naturally on-the-go person, but contending with circumstances.

lyrics

I don't know how to take it easy.
How can I put this more clearly?
I've got one speed and it's called "go".
Maybe I'm falling apart, but I've got lots to show...for it.
I always show up when i should phone it.
Don't know how to relax just for a moment.
I've got one state, and it's called "humming"
Someday they'll find me dead and I'll be late for something.

The reality is catching up again.
How far can I reach if I overextend?
The reality is catching up again no matter how hard that I pretend.
