Lyrics
Speed Of Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The speed of light slows down
As the feather hits the ground
And if nothing else gets proved
It's always faster than it sounds
A star that shines so bright
Would be eclipsed tonight
When you kiss the satellite
Because there was always you
And you alone believed
That light could bend this way
It don't seem right
To spend tonight
As I did today
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
There's nothing you can do
To make this all brand new
And nothing you can say
To make it go away
You've never been so wrong
So how can you act strong
When a fall from grace so hard
Should never take so long
And sat goodbye as you did today
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
So the speed of light remains
Ever constantly the same
Again tonight as it today
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
