Lyrics

Verse:
If you could get inside of Einstein’s mind, and figure out time and space.
And travel at the speed of light to a different time and place.
Where would you go? Who would you see? What would you do differently?
What is the life you’d choose to lead?

If you were so inclined in Einstein‘s mind, to understand the math.
And all the gravitation that has put you on this path.
Where would you go, who would you be, what would you do differently?
What is the life you’d choose to lead?

Short Chorus:
It’s all about your courage, and the speed at which you fly.
Breaking free from gravity like the starlight in the sky.

Verse:
If you could get inside of Einstein’s mind, you’d see the reasons why,
Time is merely relative, as we move throughout our lives.
Pain moves so slow, joy travels fast
Better grab it as it’s moving past you.
Even if it you don’t grab me....

Long Chorus:
But it’s all about your courage and the speed at which you fly,
Breaking free from gravity like a comet passing by.
Time is an illusion it does not begin or end,
And the love of those around you will bring you around again.

Verse:
If you could get inside of Einstein’s mind, you’d learn something profound.
The curvature of time and space brings some things back around.
Love reappears, time disappears,
There’s no need for rear view mirrors.
Traveling at the speed of light.
You could finally get it right.

Long Chorus:
It’s all about your courage, and the speed at which you fly.
Forgetting you could crash and burn, and in the wreckage you could die.
‘Cause time is an illusion, it does not begin or end.
And a beam of love at light speed will breathe life in you again.

Verse:
If you could get inside of Einstein’s mind,
You would contemplate
It’s best to travel faster than it is to sit and wait.
Even if you don’t grab me.
