This song is like going through the phases of life. It begins when he is young and moving at the speed of light, everything is moving so fast for you and you are carefree about it. "Lean back and raise a toast to the stars". Then it moves on to a little bit older when he slows down to the speed of sound. Still breezing through life, making a commotion about it too. Then he meets this girl that wants to make him move at the speed of trees. "I am asking for the speed of trees" He has reached a point in his life he doesnt want to change at all. He wants everything to go as slow as possible so he can spend every moment with this girl. Its so romantic and amazing. I love this song, and all the metaphors used in it. Amazing!
