67,000 MILES PER HOUR SONATA

I. SEEMS SO STILL

There are times when the world has hardened,
To the point where we want to quit
And there are crimes that are left unpardoned
Trying to find our own place to fit
Each night I reach to hold someone, inside an urban tower
It feels so still but we’re being spun at 67,000 miles per hour
Around the sun

This city game, it’s too tough to win it
Constantly up against the grain
This wheel of chance, we all have to spin it
And turn the corner from memory lane

We sit and watch the river run
Under an August shower
And so our sojourn has begun
At 67,000 miles an hour
Around the sun

Trying to right all the sins we’ve waged
While walking streets with nowhere to go
Feigning calm when we feel enraged
Where are the people we used to know?

And when the day is finally done
And the moon is at full power
I thank our star for the love I’ve won
At 67,000 miles an hour
Around the sun

At 67,000 miles an hour
Around the sun

II. FROM AFAR

III. ON THE SURFACE

And we’re all gliding, cells constantly dividing
67,000 miles an hour we’re riding

Praying to God knows what above
Helplessly falling in love
67,000 miles we’re passengers of

A world where nobody budges
Filled with misguided judges
67,000 miles still holding grudges

Should be a flight of wonder
Praising the sky we’re under
67,000 miles an hour asunder

Laughing and crying
Living but surely dying
67,000 miles an hour we’re flying

Whispering screaming
Sinning and then redeeming
67,000 miles per hour we’re streaming
