Speed Of Silence Lyrics

Speed Of Silence lyrics

All the letters I ever wrote you

And some of them I even sent

All this time we've been waiting

For this moment to arrive

And now it's here

Now I know I could kiss you

But before I do

Do we want to let go

Of this magic

And let it turn to truth

From mystery

Let all this hope be history



And it's as fast as fear

As it cuts away the sound

And slaps you when you're smiling

Just how easily you lose

Everything you've found

At the speed of silence



When you told me you loved me

And I didn't say a word

I said I was sorry

And you pretended

You never heard at all

It's funny how the tears

Can well up

But neither of us ever drown

How many times

We bring the sun up, sure

It won't fall down

And there it goes

And leaves us staring

At our toes



It's the way the wind blows the water

But nothing underneath it moves

When I asked you what you wanted

You didn't speak and then I knew

Everything was ruined again



It's the way the wind blows the water

But nothing underneath it moves

When I asked you what you wanted

You didn't speak and then I knew

Everything was ruined again
