Steve Moakler - So soon lyrics

I used to roam these streets with a bicycle and my bare feet Til streetlights cast their shine or my dad would say it's time to eat There were rocks that I turned over, some I just left in the dirt I'd fall and skin my knees; that was all I knew of her I was just learning how to dot my Is and cross my Ts Couldn't wait to turn the tide, so never thought it'd be So soon, so soon I started chasing happy ever after So soon, so soon Every step that I got closer, the clocks kept moving faster, faster Next thing that I knew, there were angels and they caught my eyes And I'd drive to their houses, bring them flowers, red and white But hearts are misunderstood People told me love would hurt me, never thought it would So soon, so soon I started chasing happy ever after So soon, so soon I learned a lesson and the clocks keep moving faster, faster It went up so fast, my youth, it blames my hourgla** Empty on its side It left before I said goodbye, goodbye My mother called today, she asked me if my bills were paid Tears ran down her face to hear a man in her boy's place Boy, would you look at you now? People told me this would happen, but never told me how So soon, so soon You'd find your way and I couldn't run after So soon, so soon Every inch that you've grown taller, the clocks keep moving faster, faster
