[Verse 1]
Let me love you, let me be around
I promise you, I won't make a sound
'Cause the wind is blowing hard, you see
We'll take a ride, just you and me
Let's go down to the south of France
Where we can love, I think there is a chance
Go down for the holiday
To live those happy thoughts again
[Chorus]
How are you gonna run at the speed of sound?
Ooh, wonderchild
How are you gonna breathe if you're underground?
How many times will you try?
How are you gonna walk at the rainbow's edge?
Ooh, wonderchild
Ooh, wonderchild, everything comes to an end
[Verse 2]
I get to you at the speed of sound
Really fast when you're on the run
'Cause the world's closing in on us
A second later we're on the bus
You're so fine and I love you so
So beautiful, but I have to know
Is this real or is it just a game?
Take a ride, won't come back the same
[Chorus]
How are you gonna run at the speed of sound?
Ooh, wonderchild
How are you gonna breathe if you're underground?
How many times will you try?
How are you gonna walk at the rainbow's edge?
Ooh, wonderchild
Ooh, wonderchild, everything comes to an end
[Bridge]
And if I could be with you
I keep on wonder why
If this whole escapade
Is it worth all this time?
And if I could be with you
I keep on wonder why
If this whole escapade
Is it worth all, all, all?
(One, two, one, two)
(Bring it back)
[Chorus]
How are you gonna run at the speed of sound?
Ooh, wonderchild
How are you gonna breathe if you're underground?
How many times will you try?
How are you gonna walk at the rainbow's edge?
Ooh, wonderchild
Ooh, wonderchild, everything comes to an end
[Post-Chorus]
And if I could be with you
I keep on wonder why
If this whole escapade
Is it worth all this time?
And if I could be with you
I keep on wonder why
If this whole escapade (Ooh, wonderchild)
Everything comes to an end
