To me it was the day I had everything I ever wanted and didn't know what to do with it all.

For you it was the day when all you ever wanted wanted something else.

For everyone else it was two people who had everything they could ever wish for and didn't
realize it.

I'm realizing now

But that sound I heard last night

was the sonic boom of everything I ever wanted sprinting away faster than the speed of sound

And maybe that's why I can't speak to you

Because my words will always be too slow.

And you'll always be running.

I guess I'll always be chasing too. Because when everything you've ever wanted runs away

faster than the speed of sound

You'll chase it, that's for sure.

But catching up is near impossible.
