VERSE 1 (Boy):
The storm beat me here
The snow clouds were drawing near


We were leaning against my car
The night that you broke my heart

The air was freezing cold
My words caught up in my throat


I dug my heels into the ground
When you said you don't feel the same
But if silence were a sound

I was shouting out your name

CHORUS:

Why don't you pick up when I call
My world is turning black and white
Cause when you leave you know I fall

I'm falling at the speed of light

And it's only now I see

Without you nothing's really right
And no one else can save me
I'm falling at the speed of light


VERSE 2 (Girl):
I still see you standing there

The snow landing in your hair

You drove me to the city park

The night that I broke your heart
The air was thin that night
You asked me everything all right


I told you something has to change
But you took it the wrong way

And if silence were a sound
I was shouting out your name


(+Boy):
And as the snow kept coming down
You slowly turned away (I slowly turned away)

But if silence were a sound
I was shouting your name


CHORUS (Both):
Why don't you pick up when I call
My world is turning black and white

Cause when you leave you know I fall
I'm fallin' at the speed of light


And it's only now I see
Without you nothing's really right
And no one else can save me

I'm falling at the speed of light
