Speed of Night

Late summer nights on empty streets
Your hand in mine, no need to speak
We drove until the city disappeared
Young and reckless, nothing to fear

Time moved slow but we moved fast
Never thought about making it last
Just you and me against the world
Two kids with hearts unfurled

At the speed of night we were flying
No goodbyes, no crying
Every moment felt like forever
Now I'm here but we're not together
At the speed of night, we burned so bright
Wish I could go back to those times
When love was easy, love was right
At the speed of night

Your smile in the dashboard light
Every song felt like it was ours tonight
We made promises we couldn't keep
But those memories cut so deep

We thought we'd never grow apart
Carved our names into the dark
But seasons change and people too
Still I remember me and you

At the speed of night we were flying
No goodbyes, no crying
Every moment felt like forever
Now I'm here but we're not together
At the speed of night, we burned so bright
Wish I could go back to those times
When love was easy, love was right
At the speed of night

Sometimes I drive past our old places
See our ghosts in familiar spaces
Wonder if you think of me
Or if I'm just a memory

At the speed of night we were flying
Young and fearless, always trying
Every moment felt like forever
Those days are gone but I still remember
At the speed of night, we burned so bright
Maybe someday I'll be alright
But tonight I miss those times
When your heart was close to mine
At the speed of night

At the speed of night
Yeah, at the speed of night
We were infinite
