The speeds of departure The times of arrival Your speed of departure Was faster than I'd hoped When you told me there was two months left to go I told you that I think you're lying But here I am a year's moved on And hell it's been a year of trying The speeds of departure The times of arrival Your speed of departure Was faster than I'd hoped I laid my eyes on where you rested The flowers made it easier to find We spent the afternoon together Just not the time I had in mind Overgrown, left alone And I can't shake this sinking feeling You should know, you're not alone Until I'm gone I'll still be singing The speeds of departure The times of arrival Your speed of departure Was faster than I had hoped The speeds of departure (It's part of life) The times of arrival (Live while others die) Your speed of departure (It's part of life) Was faster than I'd hoped (Always wondered why) The speeds of departure (It's part of life) The times of arrival (Live while others die) Your speed of departure (It's part of life) Was faster than I had hoped
