Speed of Sound-Coldplay

My mind has been "Speeding" Today...
Many thoughts
Many Songs...
Roam (that is intentional if you're wondering)
Throughout my head

Took a drive tonight
needed to get away....
FAST
Drove far ...to the river
and walked out to it's bank...
smoking
sitting
so still

Strangly enough
far away from home as well
a former high school student of mine
and some of his friends had the same idea
(I guess it's a popular spot)

He said "Hey"
"I thought of you the other day. Have been listening to some Interpol...realizing what a cool band they are...and remembering that you once told us that you saw them in concert....realizing what a cool person you must have been...there in front of my eyes every day...and never realized it."

How f***in' cool is that?
I felt good enough to go Home.
Stayed within the Speed Limit
Heart wants to Race, however

Didn't jump into the river after all!

Trying to stay above Water
So I get home and drink
RUM


"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 try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?"
-Coldplay
