[Verse 1]
When did it all go up in smoke
Like fire to the pages?
Havin' a good laugh like a joke
But my tattoo keeps fadin', fadin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm on top one minute, one minute, yeah
Oh my God, I'm trippin', I'm trippin'
I hope I didn't waste too much time stressin' my mind
Goin' nowhere, gettin' high
Only got one life, got one life
[Chorus]
I just wanna slow it down, s-s-slow it down
All this shit is spinnin' too fast
I just wanna slow it down, s-s-slow it down
What do I gotta do to make it last?
[Post-Chorus]
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to make it last?
[Verse 2]
Somebody stay close, let me know
That my heart beats for somethin'
You know I don't wanna go
'Nother day like it's nothin', nothin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands don't stop, they're tickin', they're tickin', yeah
Oh my God, I'm trippin', I'm trippin'
I hope I didn't waste too much time stressin' my mind
Goin' nowhere, gettin' high
Only got one life, got one life
[Chorus]
I just wanna slow it down, s-s-slow it down
All this shit is spinnin' too fast
I just wanna slow it down, s-s-slow it down
What do I gotta do to make it last?
[Post-Chorus]
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to make it last?
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to make it last?
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
I just wanna slow it down, s-s-slow it down
All this shit is spinnin' too fast
I just wanna slow it down, s-s-slow it down
What do I gotta do to make it last?

FITZ:
This song is one of my favorite songs on the whole entire album. It is all about the realization of your own mortality. I see my kids experiencing things for the first time and I see the passage of time happening. I’m a guy that, up until last year, spent every day of my life on the road. Now...
