You stay just where you are, while I'm away from home But I take you in my heart, just like a placebo Oh, it's not enough, no, to fill me up I need you by my side, to speed the lonely night Yeah, ooh, things go faster, faster with you And though the thread is long, that holds us together Well, it's flexible and strong, but it slows us down Oh, time flies, it's true, but just when I'm with you Yeah, I need you by my side, to speed the lonely night Yeah, ooh, things go faster, faster As I try, I can't seem to shake the feeling that you're all that I require Yeah, so I try, to imagine that you're with me, oh Things go faster, things go faster, faster with you Now I'm going to sleep, now I'm going to sleep Things go faster, faster with you *
