You're visually
Stunning, I'm almost shivering
You'd become
Anyone, don't hate who you have to be

Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away

Hard stuff
Give me a dose of the hard stuff
Okay, enough
Okay, enough of the hard stuff

Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away

Away from this
Away from this

Awake enough
This feels like I've been here before
You said, don't be tough
Let's go back. I said, let's go forward

Speed river take me away
Speed river took you away
Speed river took her away

Away from this
Away this minute

This house
Sounds just like a bomb hit it
It's an old sound
That says, if you asked me to I'd relive it

Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away
Speed river take me away

Away from this
Away this minute

Away for one moment, away from this feeling
From feeling this

Away

Away from this moment, away from this feeling
From feeling this

Away from this
