"Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness" lyrics

"Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness"

Everybody gotta run sometime

Come home late, come home early
Come home big when I'm feelin' small
Come home straight, come home fucked-up
Sometimes I don't come home at all

What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven's name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run

You've a heart that burns with a fever
You've got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Leave me so damn far behind?

Tell me now

What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven's name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run

It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
(Heartbreakin's what it is)
It's crossed that evil line today
(Let's cross it together, hand-in-hand)
I can't think about tomorrow
(Well now, who can?)
I ain't got one word to say
(Now sing along)

What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven's name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run
