Grace & Speed

I want a shoebox big enough to fill with stars
So I can tell my age from any point in space and say with certainty
That you're only as old as you choose
As long as you spin, you really got nothing to loose

I gave a picture to an architect in June
Asked if he could build a tower big enough to poke through the atmosphere
So I could climb and wreck a time up to the moon
To see the Earth from a different point of view

Only you came along and asked why whe world's so blue
And all I could offer up were theories I could never prove, when silence fails
We ask ourselves what good is truth if its not true
And still rolling as blue as we choose

Well, I'll pick a planet and you can choose a star
We'll put our points together, we can travel very far, our path is winding
We can't rewind, but if we move with grace and speed
We'll watch it all again from depth we've never dreamed

Oh, I wrote a story and I put it to a tune
And all the words were easy and the movement have it moved it really moved me
Let it move you. I saw your tears
We may be aging but we shouldnt count in years
