Speed Limit Lyrics
[Chorus]
I broke the speed limit to get to you
I took a road where there was no road
Lost my keys and common sense
Jumped the gun to jump the fence
Just to find you gone
[Verse 1]
I turned the lights off in the kitchen
I took the needle out the groove
Dropped the roses in the sink
Woke up cold and on the brink
Just to find you gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody told us
This weight on our shoulders
Would keep us apart
From the morning through the dark
If love is a door
That we walk through together
Then how come we can't find the key?
[Chorus]
I broke the speed limit to get to you
I cut a valley through the rain
Held a vigil at the bar
Little candle in a jar
Just to find you gone
[Post-Chorus]
Nobody told us
This weight on our shoulders
Would keep us apart
From the morning through the dark
If love is a door
That we walk through together
Then how come we can't find the key?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody told us
This weight on our shoulders
Would keep us apart
From the morning through the dark
If love is a door
That we walk through together
Then how come we can't find the key?
[Chorus]
I broke the speed limit to get to you
I took a road where there was no road
We don't ever get it right
Couple sailboats in the night
Drifting all alone
All the places that we went
I went back to them again
Just find you gone
