Intro:
Verse:
how long before I get in
before it starts, before I begin
how long before you decide
before I know what it feels like
where to, where do I go
if you never tried then you'll never know
how long do I have to climb
up on this side of this mountain of mine
look up, I look up at night
planets are moving at the speed of light
come up, up in the trees
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
how long am I gonna stand
with my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop
or before I see things the right way up
Pre-Chorus:
all that noise, all that sound
all those places that i got found
Chorus:
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds come flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
Verse:
ideas that you'll never find
all the inventors could never design
the buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
the sign that I couldn't read
all the light that I couldn't see
somethings you have to believe
but others are puzzles, puzzling me
Pre-Chorus:
all that noise, all that sound
all those places that i got found
Chorus:
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds come flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
Bridge:
all those signs I knew what they meant
something you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
ooh
Chorus:
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds come flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
Outro:
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
