lyrics

first got 2 wheels when i was 3
opened up a whole new world to me
didn't pedal fast
didn't think of racing
because I could go anywhere
see anything

slowly the road got bigger
watched people move
like they ignited off a trigger and
where else do you go
when forwards and faster
is all you know

for someone who thinks so much
about what he's going to get
you think I'd check
that all this speed
is in fact a safe bet

the wheels are breaking
slow down, slow down
why am I racing?
slow down, slow down

I used to like to build a fort
decked out with booby traps
so the baddies got caught
it was just a blanket on a table
but I'd defend that thing
from anything
as long as i was able

and if you wanted to be my friend
you were straight in
and it was you and me
together until the end
where did that go?
because I still fight
but these days I
choose to fight alone

for someone who thinks so much
about what he's going get
you'd think I'd check
that all alone
was such a safe bet

the wheels are breaking
slow down, slow down
why am I racing?
slow down, slow down
