Living double speed(with 8 hours sleep)

by @marthie

Liner Notes

My daughter is studying medicine and interested in how my CPAP is working for me- and ended up saying I am just pointing out all the bad stuff so I said I'll have to see if I find time to write her about a day when I get my 8 hours sleep...

Lyrics

Living Double Speed

I’m so fast
I’m the lightning
You try to follow
In a flash
I’m here
and gone again

Double speed
Is how I’m living
Double speed
And loving every minute
Ooh
living double speed
When I get -
my eight hours sleep
Now- That works for me

Let’s turn it up
The heat
Catching up on yesterday
While planning for tomorrow.
mm mm mmm

Building the mountain
I tried to move yesterday.
Laughing and social
You can come along if you’re willing.
Oh- I hope you like the speed
Because keeping up- it ain’t easy,
you know
you know
Double speed
Is how I’m living
Double speed
And loving every minute ,
yeah
living double speed
When I get -
my eight hours sleep
Now- That works for me.

I'm fast as lightning
and gone again

My daughter is coming up for 26 and she would recognise herself in a lot of these lyrics. She even talks at double speed, so I can't follow her in Spanish, despite being fluent in the language for over 35 years. She is bilingual so I can follow her 2X English. That double speed life is stressful and auto inflicted, but I can't tell her that or she EXPLODES! 😉
