I broke the speed limit to get to you

I took a road where there was no road

Lost my keys and common sense

Jumped the gun to jump the fence

Just to find you gone.

I turned the lights off in the kitchen

I took the needle out the groove

Dropped the roses in the sink

Woke up cold and on the brink

Just to find you gone.

Nobody told us

This weight on our shoulders

Would keep us apart

From the morning through the dark

If love is a door

That we walk through together

Then how come we can't find the key?

I broke the speed limit to get to you

I cut a valley through the rain

Held a vigil at the bar

Little candle in a jar

Just to find you gone.

Nobody told us

This weight on our shoulders

Would keep us apart

From the morning through the dark

If love is a door

That we walk through together

Then how come we can't find the key?

Nobody told us

From the morning through the dark

If love is a door

Then how come we can't find the key?

I broke the speed limit to get to you

I took a road where there was no road

We don't ever get it right

Couple sailboats in the night

Drifting all alone.

All the places that we went

I went back to them again

Just find you gone.
