Speed River

You're visually
Stunning, I'm almost shivering
You'd become
Anyone, don't hate who you have to be
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Hard stuff
Give me a dose of the hard stuff
Okay, enough
Okay, enough of the hard stuff
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Away from this
Away from this
Awake enough
This feels like I've been here before
You said, don't be tough
Let's go back. I said, let's go forward
Speed river take me away
Speed river took you away
Speed river took her away
Away from this
Away this minute
This house
Sounds just like a bomb hit it
It's an old sound
That says, if you asked me to I'd relive it
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Away from this
Away this minute
Away for one moment, away from this feeling
From feeling this
Away
Away from this moment, away from this feeling
From feeling this
Away from this
