Lyrics

In the night, there's danger in the air
Caution is in the wind
But me I don't care
When you toll
I'll be calling for you
Don't know what you are and what you could do

But I'm traveling at the speed of love
Sooner or later I'll be crashing
But I don't know what I'm thinking of
All the lights around me are flashing

In the night, don't know what I feel
You say hold on, nothing is for real
I feel a change and I'm calling for you
Don't know what you are and what you could do

But I'm traveling at the speed of love
Sooner or later I'll be crashing
But I don't know what you're dreaming of
And all the lights around me are flashing
And all the blood inside me is rushing
And all the cars outside are crashing

Whatever you say is true
Well I drifted in the shadows
It gets so light with you

But I'm traveling at the speed of love
And all the lights around me are flashing
Yes we're traveling at the speed of love
And sooner or later we'll be crashing
Yes we're traveling at the speed of love
Sooner or later we'll be crashing
Traveling at the speed of love...
