Speed Of Dark

Somebody let me get that far
I don't even know right now who we are
I see you standing on the stairwell
You know that I am leaving
Oh we used to live fast doing it, doing it
Every night the last touch no edit, no edit
How did we let it get that far
I don't even know right now who we are
We threw our hearts in a wishing well
Promised we'd never brake the spell
I confess I confess I have been tempted
I want it, I want it dangerous
Somebody tell me how we got that far
I don't even know right now who we are
N' if you know that you're not breathing get out
We can always just leave here drive off
Life is just a flicker in the universe
Uuu under the stars we 're indestructible
Somebody let me drive that car
We'll be riding down that freeway towards it all
We'll be making love under thunderstorms
Together living in a free fall
Come on won't you came with me
We'll go far
