Speed of the Sound of Loneliness

Come home late, come home early

Come home big when I'm feelin' small

Come home straight, come home fucked-up

Sometimes I don't come home at all

What in the world has come over me?

What in heaven's name have I done?

I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

I'm out there running just to be on the run

You've a heart that burns with a fever

You've got a worried and a jealous mind

How can a love that'll last forever

Leave me so damn far behind?

Tell me now

What in the world has come over me?

What in heaven's name have I done?

I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

I'm out there running just to be on the run

It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow

It's crossed that evil line today

I can't think about tomorrow

I ain't got one word to say

What in the world has come over me?

What in heaven's name have I done?

I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

I'm out there running just to be on the run
