[Verse 1] You always meet me where the easy road is ending, where the air gets thin and everything turns clear. You never waste your time pretending to be careful, you only ever ask me what I’m doing here. I know the way you pull the distance in between us, I know the way the ground begins to disappear. And every time I swear I’ll take you less seriously, you whisper something only I can hear. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a moment when the thinking falls behind me, and every other voice goes out of range. [Chorus] I’ve been speed dating again, letting you talk me into trouble. You make the whole world narrow to a line beneath my wheels, till nothing else feels real.. I’ve been speed dating again, and you’re still impossible to measure. You don’t make me younger, you make everything exact, and I keep coming back for the pleasure. [Verse 2] You have a way of making hesitation costly, a fraction late can turn a question into fact. You don’t forgive a badly chosen proposition, but give you what you want and you give something back. The weather changes halfway through the conversation, the rain comes down and writes another version of the track. I feel you waiting just beyond the point of comfort, where instinct takes the language out of that. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a moment when the thinking falls behind me, when all the clever reasons lose their weight. [Chorus] I’ve been speed dating again, letting you talk me into trouble. You make the whole world narrow to a line beneath my wheels, till nothing else feels real.. I’ve been speed dating again, and you’re still impossible to measure. You don’t make me younger, you make everything exact, and I keep coming back for the pleasure. [Bridge] Maybe that’s why I still like the way you find me somewhere between too careful and too far. You never ask me who I was before I met you; you only seem concerned with where we are. And I have loved you most when you become invisible, when speed is not a number anymore— just rain against my face, the earth beneath me moving, and one clean line arriving at the door. [Final Chorus] I’ve been speed dating again, and you still know how to surprise me. You take a thousand moving things and make them into one, until there’s nothing else beside me. I’ve been speed dating again, where every second asks a better question. You don’t make me younger, you make everything exact— and that may be the whole attraction.
