Lyrics

Life has a way of humbling us all, and all of us taste defeat
Everyone wants to sit on the throne till somebody pulls out the seat
We float like a feather, we run with the river
We drift through the never, but always end up on the ground

Just when you thought you could fly
You're losing height at the speed of light
Just when you thought you had reached the sky
Life at terminal, terminal velocity

Life has a way of lifting you up and sweeping you off your feet
Some have to start all over, and some cry while counting sheep
How can a child have cancer? How can you call it karma?
How can a war be civil yet filled with melodrama?

Just when you thought you could fly
You're losing height at the speed of light
Just when you thought you had reached the sky
Life at terminal, terminal velocity

Just when you thought you were safe
And you let love into your heart
The barbed wire fence that protects you
Was really, was really, was really the prisoners' yard

Life is a matter of faith
To feel you're not already dead
The climb to the top of the cliff
And stepping out over the edge

Living life at terminal, terminal velocity
Living life at terminal, terminal velocity
Terminal velocity
