Obvious Speed Limit

I can get away
from you faster
than you can
get away from me
it's only an instant
difference-but
it's all the difference
in the world
because I can
see it coming
a million miles ahead
I can get away
before the collision
before the drive-by
and all the lies revealed
you don't know
how it is for me
to wake up everyday
and wish it wasn't
another day at all
you and me aren't
anything as long
as we agree
something could come
between these dreams
I can get away
from you faster
as if you never
knew I was there
at all
I can get away
and move on
next step in line
it's all in pace
with the modern times
I drag nothing behind
and everything besides
if we are too much
for all these sincere
people to understand
maybe it's just because
they have narrow minds
I can get away
faster than you
can leave me alone
would everyone disagree
still if we all
had the same definitions
but who wants
to share that much
personal information
I can get away
just remember that
