Smashing the Speed of Sound on an Empty Lake in Utah Lyrics

Big round love
And I climb through the trees
Running around
With the grease on my knees

And I'm feeling alright
I'm feeling awfully nice

When you said that
It's a terrible thing
I said you're wrong
But now I'm starting to think
That maybe you're right
You've always been right, always been right, always been right

So go and follow it
Or do I go back
I can see her, it's too darn cold to be too far gone, too far gone

So do I go and make a mistake
You should have let me down
Just let me down

Smashing the speed of sound
Smashing the speed of sound
Smashing the speed of sound on an empty lake in Utah

Silence echos through the room

So go and follow it
Or do I go back
I can see her, it's too darn cold to be too far gone, too far gone

So do I go and make a mistake
You should have let me down
Just don't tell her

Smashing the speed of sound
Smashing the speed of sound
Smashing the speed of sound (on an empty lake in Utah), the speed of sound (on an empty lake in Utah), the speed of sound (on an empty lake in Utah)

Cover art for Smashing the Speed of Sound on an Empty Lake in Utah lyrics by John Steel Singers, The

Is this song actually about smashing the speed of sound on an empty lake in Utah? I thought it was, especially with the line, 'running around / with the grease on my knee,' but now that I've read the lyrics, I'm not too sure.

Perhaps it is, and whoever's doing the smashing has been told it's a mistake and now they're wondering if they should go ahead and make the mistake anyway.
