Tick tick tick... let's go
I used to hit rewind on every little mistake
Replay the same scenes 'til my head would ache
But something clicked last night, I found a different button
Fast forward through the noise, leave the past for nothing
Hi-hats in my ear like a clock that's pushing me
Every second's saying"yo, you got somewhere to be"
Not looking in the mirror at the things I couldn't fix
Life's a tape and I'm done watching reruns of the hits
No more pause, no more wait
I'm pressing play on a brand new slate
Feel the motion
I'm on fast forward, fast forward
Skipping past the chapters that don't serve me no more
Fast forward, fast forward
Every tick is taking me to something I adore
Ooh, leave the static behind me
Ooh, future looking so bright, see
Fast forward, fast forward
I ain't looking back, I'm running toward
Syncopated heartbeat, I'm in sync with the tempo
Every step I'm taking got that forward momentum
Old regrets are loading? Nah, I'm skipping the buffer
Life's too short to dwell on what made me suffer
Tape saturation got that warm and grainy glow
Vintage feel but I'm headed somewhere new, you know
Echoes of the past? I let 'em fade into the mix
Future's crystal clear, no glitch, no tricks
No more loops, no more stall
I'm pressing through, gonna take it all
Feel the motion
I'm on fast forward, fast forward
Skipping past the chapters that don't serve me no more
Fast forward, fast forward
Every tick is taking me to something I adore
Ooh, leave the static behind me
Ooh, future looking so bright, see
Fast forward, fast forward
I ain't looking back, I'm running toward
They told me slow down, take a breath, reconsider
But standing still just made me bitter
Now I'm moving at the speed of what I wanna be
Pressing fast forward 'til I'm finally free
Rewind's for the movies, I'm writing real time
Every hi-hat tick is a step in the climb
Let the arpeggios dance while I chase the next scene
Life's too short to live stuck in between
I'm on fast forward, fast forward
Leaving all the weight on the cutting room floor
Fast forward, fast forward
Destination's calling and I'm ready for more
Ooh, tape keeps on rolling
Ooh, future's unfolding
Fast forward, fast forward
This is my story and I'm pressing toward
Still fast forwarding... catch me in the future
