Speed of Sound

Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Pearl Jam

Yesterdays, how quick they change
All lost and long gone now

It's hard to remember any thing
Moving at the speed of sound
Moving with the speed of sound

And yet I’m still holding tight
To this dream of distant light
And that somehow I’ll survive

But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a sun,.. that just don’t come

Can I forgive what I
Cannot forget
And live a lie
I could give it one more try

Why deny this drive inside?
Just looking for some peace

Everytime I get me some
It gets the best of me
Not much left you see

And yet I’m still holding tight
to this dream of distant light
and that somehow I’ll survive

But this night has been a long one
Wiating on a word,.. that never comes

A whisper in the dark
Is that you or just my thoughts?
Wide awake & reaching out

It’s gone so quiet now
Could it be I’m farther out?
Moving faster than the speed of sound

I've only heard the Eddie demo version but this is a fuckin' beautiful song.

I cannot wait to hear the whole album. I'm expecting big things!

The lyric doesn't sound like "Why did I just drive inside just looking for some keys?", but "Why deny this drive inside just looking for some peace."

Can't wait to hear it live, such an uplifting and beautiful song, yet melancholy and somber at the same time. I think it is one of their best.

this song is simply amazing. their most beautiful song to date.
