Church - Life Speeds Up lyrics

rate me

The clouds in the sky are all rushing by<br />

A stare's just a backwards glance<br />

The years and the days are all melting away<br />

Yet you still won't take a chance<br />

<br />

But life speeds up, don't you know, don't you know<br />

<br />

The push and the throb, the threat of the mob<br />

The crack's not a secret this time<br />

The mouths and the doors, now I can't shut anymore<br />

Keep running, you're falling behind<br />

<br />

The world spins alone, the weight of it groans<br />

I get dizzy just turning the page<br />

The air holds us down and we're stuck on the ground<br />

Trying to slip off our age<br />

<br />

Come to the window come to the door<br />

Given under my hand given under the law<br />

I gave you everything you still want more<br />

They gave you some mad forgotten war<br />

<br />

Now it's time to slow things down<br />

Because I told you life speeds up<br />

<br />

Tell me how it happened did it hurt did you cry<br />

Did you ever feel yourself falling out of the sky<br />

Did you ever lie awake and wonder why<br />

Did you ever fall asleep and dream that you died<br />

<br />

We grind to a halt and we start again<br />

We come to a corner but it's only a bend<br />

And all those broken promises they never end <br />

Who cares if it's mad when it's only pretend
