Full Nelson

Lyrics

[Intro] Well sure you have, what do you think this is? A car You're looking at this thing bass-ackward, this is a twentieth-century time machine. I'm the captain, you're the navigator. Now out there, that's the future, back there, well, that's the past. If life's moving too slow, you wanna project yourself into the future, just step on the gas right here, see? [Verse 1: nothing,nowhere.] It's like I'm holding on with broken hands I see these lies out the corner of my eye When I grow up I wanna be a ghost So I can see how you feel when I'm not as close [Interlude] If you wanna slow her down, well hell, you just step on the brake here and you slow her down. This is the present, Phillip. Enjoy it while it lasts [Verse 2: nothing,nowhere.] I'll pretend I'm in my old bed Tired eyes, tuck me in, pat me on the head Construct a world in which I'm safe again Growing up, giving up, I wish I'd never left
