Traveling at the Speed of Light

Traveling at the Speed of Light

I want to hear about the savannah
The riverbeds and all of the legends
I want to feel the wind at my shoulder
Want to touch the face of a five foot boulder

I want to feel the warmth of the summer
I want to know just why I love her
I can just erase a whole number
Lay your head to sleep, breathe deeper while I

Burn it out, burn it out faster
Take your time, make it up after
Burn it out, burn it out faster
Burn it out, 'cause I'm not giving up

One rotation leads to another
Three trips round now, all for your mother
Make a five year window seem a little closer
Bring it on down, fly a little lower
Going six times now, and seven is getting closer
Ate my meals alone, I'm not over her
Nine comes round, so does ten
You're my piece of heaven

I want to feel the warmth of the summer
Want to know just why I love her
I can just erase a whole number
Lay your head to sleep, breathe deeper while I

Burn it out, burn it out faster
Take your time, make it up after
Burn it out, burn it out faster
Burn it out, 'cause I'm not giving up

One rotation leads to another
Three trips 'round now, all for your mother
Make a five year window seem a little closer
Bring it on down, fly a little lower
Going six times now, and seven is getting closer
Ate my meals alone, I'm not over her
Nine comes round, so does ten
You're my piece of heaven

Take it slow, head to a place I know
Let's reacquaint and show
That something's gotta give now
I don't know how long I've been alone
Let's reacquaint and show
That something's gotta give now

Take it slow
(One rotation leads to another)
Head to a place I know
(Three trips round now, all for your mother)
Let's reacquaint and show
(Make a five year window seem a little closer)
That something's gotta give now
(Bring it on down, fly a little lower)
I don't know
(Going six times now and seven is getting closer)
How long I've been alone
(Ate my meals alone, I'm not over her)
Let's reacquaint and show
(Nine comes round, so does ten)
That something's gotta give now

After all the time I've shed
You appear
So much wiser than before
I see it in a strand of hair
