The Speed Of Trees |
Sometimes in the dead of the night |
I’m dreaming I’m flying at the speed of light |
And in two seconds I’m brushing past the face of the moon |
Eight seconds flat on the surface of mars |
I’m kicking up the red dust |
I’m drinking in bars |
I lean back and raise a toast to the stars tonight |
When I’m dreaming at the speed of light |
Some days I just sat onboard the speed of sound |
I step off this porch and blow a kiss to this whole damn town |
I let off one of them sonic booms |
And break all the windows in 11 rows |
I’d blow off the hats of the boys at the old fair ground |
For laughing at the speed of sound |
Need to say go |
Why don’t you go there? |
If you want to go why don’t you decide? |
Pick a row |
Just decide |
Is it a train or a plane or a bride? |
Decide, decide, decide, decide |
You’re love makes me move at the speed of trees |
Lay down some roots, I’ve grown a head full of make believe |
It weren’t for that face or yours |
I’d be riding in the windows, blowing out doors |
Look at me here I’m planning square down on my knees |
On my knees on my knees |
I’m asking for the speed of trees |
Trees, trees |
