It came through the canopy
A need to find a crack in a gauge
The last thing
A look you gave
And then we tumbled out of control
I tried to strike a deal with the Universe
Me and my deals with the Universe
Smacked upside of the head
With a hush of D-Raid
So simple last evening
The beauty of speed
Afraid weâ??ve been changing
In a way I was in love then
Feel those colors changing
The beauty of speed
Iâ??m coming back for my heart
Out of a black-and-white world
Past a shooting star
The beauty of speed
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
But even still
I was built to tolerate your temperature
It fluctuates
So I must break
Through the bleak of winter
Through your latest barrier
Your latest barrier
Smacked upside of the head
With a hush of D-Raid
So simple last evening
The beauty of speed
Afraid weâ??ve been changing
In a way I was in love then
Feel those colors changing
The beauty of speed
Iâ??m coming back for my heart
Out of my black-and-white world
Past a shooting star
The beauty of speed
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
See the colors changing
Change
Change
Change
I see the colors changing
Afraid weâ??ve been changing
In a way I was in love then
Feel those colors changing
The beauty of speed.

    Swift word choices. Light is a universal constant while the material bodies merely slow reflections of that universality... "...in a way I wasn't lovin'..." Like: the "changing" as a subjective reference to Doppler effects. [Not liking: Changleing Winter Faire Court subjects "Dopplgangering."] Makes one wonder what exactly she meant by Canopy and Gauge. We vs. I. POV changing.
