Walking through the rain curtain and I dodge the drops to a cab
The distance is all objective and I wonder how many galaxies I passed
And the umbrella sea parts in unity and a red one gets away
Like so many lovers that never meet, lost and gone on New Years Day
This autumn leaf existence, so brief and so frail
We held our own on the branch, but now it's time to set sail
It's the beauty in the change, the cutting off of circulation
Was my beauty a design? Or was the clock just ticking
Were we lovers in another dimension?
Did you smile as I passed by you?
Did our atoms hold the tension
As the universe split in two?
Is it cold where you are?
Or a world as warm as Venus?
The size is so bizarre
A universe between us
Of all the things I've wanted
I needed you the most
Now I'm forever haunted
Looks like the physics got us both
And the rain just keeps on sinking
Until I forget your name
And I go right on thinking
The glistening makes us all the same
