Speed Of Sound Lyrics

Mortal Speed Of Sound

i've come far to be here with you
farther than i thought i could
i've more courage now than i have ever
let on to you

and it's in the way you're moving
as uneasy as your smile
i can tell you're slowly dying
can we stop and talk awhile

now as far as i can remember
you've been running all your life
and it seemed you ran forever
'cause i was always left behind

now that i have caught up to you
there are things i have to say
like i'm happy to be near you
but i cannot stay

my love's an ocean
you are the moon
the stars - our windows
the sky is our room

these are more than simple changes
they are painful and profound
and you might consider pacing life
below the speed of sound

no i can't take your wounds from you
things you've done i cannot undo
i can only hope to love you
like the ocean loves the moon

i am an ocean
you are the moon
our life - the morning
our love is doomed
