Fast As You Can

Minnie Driver


Oh be a man, as fast as you can, 
Oh be a man, as fast as you can 
Growing up wild, out in the fields 
In awe of the stars, and the power they wield 

Oh you loved them anyway 
Don't think they noticed you 

See how the stars change, from summer to fall 
The sole indication, that we're moving at all 
Carry the world, with the hands of a child 
You can't be a boy, she wants you to be wild 

She was the sun, sun, sun 
And you were the moon 
And the light of the sun 
Fills up the room 

Oh you loved her anyway 
And she tried to love you 

When she was asleep, you'd watch her face 
Taken in sleep to a more peaceful place 
You'd stand by the door, cause you were her guard 
And you'd love her in silence, and it wasn't that hard. 

Cause she was the sun, sun, sun 
And you were the moon 
And the light of the sun 
Eclipses the moon 

Oh you loved her anyway 
And she tried to love you 

She never asked you, what you're dreaming of 
She told you 'bout Texas, and liquor and love 
She was hard-edged and broken, she blamed a man 
But she told you to be one, as fast as you can
