When you see a little bit of that edge off, when he comes down into just warp speed, it gives you a little breath of life.
When you're young, you can sleep in till 12,
Some moments it feels longer, other moments it feels like it's flown by; you can't believe you've done it all that time... Overall, you have a strong sense for the full spectrum that you've sort of traveled.
