[Verse 1]
I close my eyes and count to ten
You say my name, I open them
Feel like I've been here before, pacing the floor
What was I thinking?
What does it mean anymore? I'm not even sure
How did I get here?

[Chorus]
I need the speed of light, I need the speed of light
A trip into the past, a trip into the past
I need the speed of light (And then some)
I need the speed of light (And then some)
A trip into the past to fix the future fast

[Verse 2]
I get so lost with you around
The more I've searched the less I've found
But like a moth to a flame, I'm blinded again
What was I thinking?
Always pulling me in, caught in a spin
How did I get here?

[Chorus]
I need the speed of light (And then some)
I need the speed of light (And then some)
A trip into the past, a trip into the past
I need the speed of light (And then some)
I need the speed of light (And then some)
A trip into the past to fix the future fast
[Bridge]
This can't be life, this can't be love
This cannot be right, this can't be us
This can't be life, this can't be love
This cannot be right, this can't be us

[Chorus]
I need the speed of light (And then some)
I need the speed of light (And then some)
A trip into the past, a trip into the past
I need the speed of light (And then some)
I need the speed of light (And then some)
A trip into the past to fix the future fast
