Speed of Light Lyrics

My heels drip a lip of a cliff
As I extended my arm to the atmosphere
I tug on a star oblivious that you pull one in and they all come crashing, when
When they all fall, when they all fall

At one hundred eighty six thousand miles per second
It won’t happen to me overnight
Yeah one hundred eighty six thousand miles per second
I can only travel the speed of light, speed of light, yeah

Street lamps of laps every thirtieth mile
Just me and static searching a radio dial
I sing at myself at the top of my lungs, the greatest songs that I ever sung
Then they all fall, then they all fall

At one hundred eighty six thousand miles per second
It won’t happen to me overnight
Yeah one hundred eighty six thousand miles per second
I can only travel the speed of light, speed of light, yeah
The speed of light (x2)

At one hundred eighty six thousand miles per second
It won’t happen to me overnight
Yeah one hundred eighty six thousand miles per second
I can only travel the speed of light, speed of light, yeah
The speed of light (x7)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
