The clouds in the sky are all rushing by A stare`s just a backwards glance The years and the days are all melting away Yet you still won`t take a chance
But life speeds up, don`t you know, don`t you know
The push and the throb, the threat of the mob The crack`s not a secret this time The mouths and the doors, now I can`t shut anymore Keep running, you`re falling behind
The world spins alone, the weight of it groans I get dizzy just turning the page The air holds us down and we`re stuck on the ground Trying to slip off our age
Come to the window come to the door Given under my hand given under the law I gave you everything you still want more They gave you some mad forgotten war
Now it`s time to slow things down Because I told you life speeds up
Tell me how it happened did it hurt did you cry Did you ever feel yourself falling out of the sky Did you ever lie awake and wonder why Did you ever fall asleep and dream that you died
We grind to a halt and we start again We come to a corner but it`s only a bend And all those broken promises they never end Who cares if it`s mad when it`s only pretend
