Speed of Sound

Man, I hate this town
So I'm looking for the only way out
And the life I wanted years ago
Is maybe not the life I should have found

I still live for sound
But lately all the people seem to talk too loud
And my feet are on the ground
But all the words I say are coming out like clouds

And they all know my name
And I don't want the same
So I guess I'd better go

All those nights wasted on the speed of sound
I still think that I just might come around for one more

There's always nights to blame
But sometimes this life is certain like your name
And the louder that the songs get played
The more those songs will start to sound the same

And I'm afraid I'll stay
It's not because of all of things that you would say
It's 'cause every time I fall in love
Is another time I'll watch you walk away

And I'm not the same
'Cause now I can't change
So I guess I better go

All those nights wasted on the speed of sound
I still think that I just might come around for one more

All those nights wasted on the speed of sound
I think I might just not be around for one more
