Lyrics Speed of Life - Sandi Thom

Speed of Life

Well it seems like only yesterday that I was just a girl
Wondering through life without a car in this old world
I’d climb upon the roof when everybody was asleep
In the stillness of the night I could hear my own heartbeat
I remember when the days seemed like they’d never ever end
And time would take you by the hand and lead you like a friend
But through the years it seemed that life was faster than I thought
And now those lazy days are in the land that time forgot
Cause it’s faster than a rocket
And nobody’s going to stop it
We’re soaring like a bird in flight
And it will never leave you standing
From the take off to the landing
They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life
Nothing is faster than the speed of life
One day I woke and it just hit me like a bullet from a gun
I realized the years I’ve lived can never be undone
And suddenly I didn’t have a single word to say
But I wish that I knew what I now know today
Cause it’s faster than a rocket
And nobody’s going to stop it
We’re soaring like a bird in flight
And it will never leave you standing
From the take off to the landing
They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life
Nothing is faster than the speed of life
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Cause it’s faster than a rocket
And nobody’s going to stop it
We’re soaring like a bird in flight
And it will never leave you standing
From the take off to the landing
They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life
It’s faster than a rocket
And nobody’s going to stop it
We’re soaring like a bird in flight
And it will never leave you standing
From the take off to the landing
They’ll be nothing faster than the speed of life
Nothing is faster than the speed of life
Nothing is faster than the speed of life
