Song Lyrics

Ooh, I thought I was all right 'til I met you
Thought I was off in the fast lane, too
Just goes to show how little you know
Just goes to show how little you know
Cause I can't keep up, I can't keep up
I can't keep up, I'm out of breath and I'm sinking fast
Never gonna last

Because you're movin' 'bout a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a second
You know you're movin 'bout a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a second
Baby movin' 'bout a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a second

What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
Me... don't you remember?
What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
Me... but you're gone again

Ooh, I thought I was OK, 'til I got down here
Thought it was plotted out and my future looked awful clear
Yes it did, yes it did
Just goes to show how little you know
Just goes to show how little you know

Cause I can't keep up, I can't keep up
I can't keep up, I'm out of breath and yes I'm sinking fast
Don't think I'm gonna last

Because it's goin' 'bout a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a second
You know it's movin 'bout a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a second
Goin' 'bout a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a mile a second

What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
Me... remember the travellin'
What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
What do you see when you look behind you?
Me!
