Lyrics & Translation
[English]
- He always had to feelthe rush,
the heartbeat,
the speed.
He had a passion for things he knew could hurt him,
but he never stayed long enough to get hurt.
Sometimes I guess he found that feeling with me,
and the other times he found it being lost.
(upbeat country music)
