"The Speed Of Life" lyrics

"The Speed Of Life"

How many times can you say that it's over?
How many ways can you say that I'll love you forever more?
How many times can you make love with your lover?
And how many lies and many lies can we live with ourselves? (Yeah, yeah)

How many times will you change your religion? (Ooh)
And how many Gods do you ask for the answers that grow in yourself?
What has to break before you make a decision? Oh
'Cause you never know which way to go
You just get off the bus and go home (Yeah, yeah)

God, tell me a truth, how much is too many? (Yeah, yeah)
Give me a sign if we've crossed the line (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause everyone else seems to know the direction
And I'm frozen from not knowing
And I'm out of breath from the speed of life
And I'm shakin' and it's racing
'Cause I'm scared to death of the speed of life
The speed of life

How many dreams can you break 'til you're broken? (Oh-oh)
And how many fights can you fight 'til you fall down on your knees?
And how many doors can get slammed in your face 'til one of them opens?
It's beautiful, it's incredible, it's the danger of life (Yeah, yeah)

God, tell me a truth, how much is too many? (Yeah, yeah)
Give me a sign if we've crossed the line (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause everyone else seems to know the direction
And I'm frozen from not knowing
And I'm out of breath from the speed of life
And I'm shakin' and it's racing
'Cause I'm scared to death of the speed of life
The speed of life

I'm shakin' and it's racing
'Cause I'm scared to death of the speed of life (The speed of life)
(Yeah, yeah)
The speed of life
