Speed Doesn't Kill (demo)
Lyrics
With open arteries all the blood flows out if you're not careful
But you could pull a gun, blow my heart right out and I'd still love you
But do you get really the magnitude of me?
Are you in or are other plans gonna come up?
And are we a "we" or are we traveling different speeds?
I just can't bring myself to ask
'Cause it's not the speed that kills
It's the differences in speed that kill
So if you wonder why I don't like the way you say things sometimes
It's 'cause it's not the speed that kills
Over highways my plane floats down out of the cloudbank
Familiar concourse, familiar flat, unfortunately
Because where I've just been is the place I'd rather be
Morning light shining through your blinds, making lines
I think you feel the same, but this is all insane
Feels like we're going so fast
But it's not the speed that kills
It's the differences in speed that kill
So if you wonder why I don't like the way you say things sometimes
It's 'cause it's not the speed that kills
Do you care at all? 'Cause you're not there at all
Though you call all the time Somehow that's worse than not at all
And when we're face to face, I swear your face betrays
something that sometimes makes me fear for my life
Goodbye
The landing gear deploys, I feel it come down, impact the tarmac
An image in my mind, for just a flash: a brick wall on the runway
You know I love you
You know that, don't you?
You know I love you
You know that, don't you?
