Speed Of Sound

How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin?
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like?
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light 
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand 
With my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop
Or before i see things the right way up

All that noise and all that sound
All those places i got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
A sign that I couldn't read
Or a light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
Others are puzzles puzzling me 

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound 
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Ah when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs I knew what they meant 
Some things you can't invent
Some get made and some get sent, ooh ooh
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground 
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh when you see it then you'll understand

Things I Don't Understand

How tides control the sea and what becomes of me
How little things can slip out of your hands
How often people change, no two remain the same
Why things don't always turn out as you plan

These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand

I can't and I can't decide
Wrong, wrong from right
Day, or my day from night
Dark, or the dark from light
I live but I love this life

How infinite is space and who decides your fate
Why everything will dissolve into sand
How to avoid defeat where truth and fiction meet
Why nothing ever turns out as you plan

These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand

I can't and I can't decide
Wrong, wrong from right
Day, or the day from night
Or dark, or the dark from light
I live but I love this life

Proof

So I waited for you 
What wouldn't I do?
And I'm covered it's true
I'm covered in you
 
If I ever want proof 
I find it in you 
Yeah I honestly do 
In you I find proof 

Light, dark 
Bright spark 
Light, dark 
And then, light
 
So I waited all day
What wouldn't I say?
And all the things in your way
Things happen that way

Oh and if I ever want proof 
Then I find it in you 
Oh yeah I honestly do 
In you I find proof 

Light, dark 
Bright spark 
Light, dark 
And then, light

Light... light... light... light...
