Promise Of Redemption – How Fast Lyrics 18 years ago
How fast can you have your bags packed?
I'm ready to blow this town

'Cause this feeling is getting too hard to explain
And when it seems like months that you and I have been away from each other's arms, it's only been days
And I, I count down seconds 'til these plane rides will save me
From a feeling I feel that's certainly made me, oh, you know it's certainly made me
Too upset to describe how when I close my eyes
You're sitting right beside me on this bed here tonight
You know I'd have to say to you

How fast can you have your bags packed?
I'm ready to blow this town.
If friendships are less important, I'm going to feel let down
This one thing between road signs and street lights when I shut my eyes to the world outside
It's just another thought of you and I

I'm so mad that I never got to say goodbye
And all I can do is sit here and wonder why you were taken from my life
And as I, I count down seconds 'til I see you again
I got our memories in my head
And I just can't seem to understand (somehow I understand)
How when I looked into your eyes
I could always realize
that you and I could have been together for all time
You know I'd have to say to you

So how fast can you have your bags packed?
I'm ready to blow this town
If friendships are less important, I'm going to feel let down
'Cause one thing between road signs and street lights when I shut my eyes to the world outside
It's just another thought of you and I

Last night, I had this dream
It was the most amazing thing
There we were, standing side by side
Just like the past twelve months
And in a sea of wishful thinking (?)
You know I pray to God
I might spend forever in this moment and never have to wake up

How fast can you have your bags packed?
I'm ready to blow this town
If friendships are less important, I'm going to feel let down
'Cause one thing between road signs and street lights when I shut my eyes to the world outside
It's just another thought of you and I
(background: "To feel that touch again...")

So we'll blame it on learning
It gets harder with time
But even with distance
Well, I know that true love will survive
(x2)

I love this song, and I believe it was written right after Dana's death.
