about

I wrote this song about nine years ago and forgot about it. I went to record some new material and needed to take a break from what I was working on. Toying around with some sounds, I remembered this song and melody. I flipped through the song book I was writing in and there it was:

lyrics

We're on separate little planets surrounded by urgency...
Where every stubbed toe is an alarming emergency...

Well I can't rush
rush, rush, rush rush, rush
I want to enjoy what I've been given
I can't rush
rush, rush, rush rush, rush
I want to enjoy the life I'm living

You don't want to hear the news that I'm breaking...
You're not gonna listen to the new song I'm making...

I am running in a circle and I have nowhere to go...
I am thinking in a loop and I still don't really know.

Well I can't rush
rush, rush, rush rush, rush
I want to enjoy what I've been given
I can't rush
rush, rush, rush rush, rush
I want to enjoy the life I'm living

(Every breath you take is automatic and every heartbeat is an afterthought.)
