Do you know like we were saying, about the earth revolving?
It’s like when you’re a kid, the first time they tell you that the world is turning and you just can’t quite believe it ’cause everything looks like it’s standing still.
I can feel it…the turn of the earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour. The entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour.
And I can feel it. We’re falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world.
And, if we let go…That’s who I am. Now forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home
