Speed of Sound Lyrics by Pearl Jam




















From the new Pearl Jam Album: Backspacer

Speed of Sound lyrics by the voice of a generation, Eddie Vedder:


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

  1. Yesterdays how quick they change
    You're lost and long gone now
    Want to remember anything
    Moving at the speed of sound
    With the speed of sound

    And yet im still holding tight
    To this dream of distant light
    In that somehow I'll survive
    But this night has been a long one
    Waiting on a sun that just done come

    Can I forgive what I
    cannot forget and live a lie
    I could give them one more try

    Why deny this drive inside
    Just looking for some piece
    Everytime I get me some
    It gets the best of me
    Not much left you see

    And yet Im still holding tight
    To this dream of distant light
    In that somehow ill survive
    But this night has been a long one
    Waiitng on a word that never comes

    The whisper in the dark
    Is that you or just my thoughts
    Im wide awake and reaching out

    Its gone so quiet now
    Could it be im farther out
    Moving faster than the speed of sound

  4. 'Want to remember anything
    Moving at the speed of sound '

    I guess it may be:

    'It's hard to remember anything
    Moving at the speed of sound '

    I don't know if I'm not wrong.

  6. From the Booklet:

    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 peach

    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
    Waiting 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
