Lyrics

Speeding

One by one, out the door Wanted you, she wanted you oh It's OK, it's OK I don't mind moving on Don't wait up I'm already gone Can't stay still, can't stay still (Ooh) The world in the rear view mirror doesn't matter (Ooh) I won't be coming back here after

Speeding, 'cause it feels good To be moving on Sleep is for the weary I'm not slowing down And when the record is done I'll put another one on Speeding 'cause it feels good, 'cause it feels good Window down feel the night

Whatever I touch I can make mine It's enough, it's enough I say go, on the wall You won't see me stopping for anyone Can't stay still, can't stay still (Ooh) The world in the rear view mirror doesn't shake me (Ooh) I haven't looked back there lately Speeding, 'cause it feels good

To be moving on Sleep is for the weary I'm not slowing down And when the record is done I'll put another one on Speeding 'cause it feels good Lines that line the city Guiding all the residents

From where I am sitting I can see the evidence Lines that line the city Guiding all the residents From where I am sitting I can see the evidence 'Cause I am, 'cause I am Speeding, 'cause it feels good

To be moving on Sleep is for the weary I'm not slowing down And when the record is done I'll put another one on Speeding 'cause it feels good 'Cause it feels good, 'cause it feels good, 'cause it feels good 'Cause it feels good, 'cause it feels good, 'cause it feels good 'Cause it feels good, 'cause it feels good
