Chocolate Cake

Life moves at the speed of the heart
Which almost never goes along the speed of a clock
And I've been learning the hard way
What it means to leave a heart behind
Tick tock, we ride on early morning trains
Bound for early morning planes and life is less than a blur
And I've been thinking of you, thinking of me
Thinking of everyone who flies across the sea
Who knows when we'll meet again?
Baby, you kissed me sadder than a passing hurricane
With one last promise to celebrate the end
Baby, you told me to smile
But today, even chocolate cake
Is starting to taste like last goodbyes
And rainy eyes and airport skies
Remind me that you're mine
But now
Ten times the speed of life
We're leaving our love behind
Life moves at the speed of my head
'Cause my heart is just as empty and cold as my bed
And here's another day, another thousand ways
To remember that I'm on my own
And who knows when I'll cry again?
Baby, I kissed you softer than a dying flame
I've kept that promise to celebrate the end
Yeah, I've been smiling as hard as I can
But today, even chocolate cake
Is starting to taste like last goodbyes
And rainy eyes and airport skies
Remind me that you're mine
But now
Ten times the speed of life
We're leaving or love behind
Take her place
Chocolate cake
I swear I'm fine
I swear I'm fine
Take her place
Chocolate cake
I swear I'm fine
I swear I'm fine
