Life Speeds Up lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Life Speeds Up lyrics 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 song lyrics
