this life, so short, so long, yet so timed.
the centuries are racing through the clouds,
but the hours, so slow...
so slow...
your love so far, so close, so good,
is built into the highways of my blood.
and I’m ready for the selfless life
with a dog and a kid and a morning drive,
but would you mind just taking this one
slow?
so slow…
'cause once I was younger, but I’m older now,
the world changed around me and I froze,
your eyes, so big, so kind, so blind,
are looking at a world they cannot see,
for shadow marks the path of life
that’s following a satellite
we’re moving at the speed of light
so slow...
so slow...
well once I was older but I’m younger now,
the world changed around me and I froze…
to be born again in a different time
where the future had arrived...
I opened my eyes, I learned how to walk,
your love, so big, so close, so good,
is flowing through the highways of my mind,
so kind, and so slow...
