lyrics

And There You Were

1: And there you were
500 million years
into the bright green future
And there you were
Five trillion miles into the solar storm

2: And there you are
At the farthest end
of a bright white shore
And there you are
As the crystal water seeps into the sand

Ref.: You’re glowing with ample light
You’re glowing with ample light
One foot on a black stone
One foot on a black stone
There was an eerie light in you
As you passed through these open spaces
Our footprints set in stone in all these places
Nature’s mark burnt into all of our faces

3: And there you were
Locked in four thousand square feet of super-heavy mass
And there you were
Your body floating through a vibrant morning field

4: And here we are
Two red laser beams colliding in vacuum space
And here we are
We’re destined for death in our own hadron collider

Ref.: You’re love’s own atomic force
You’re love’s own atomic force
One foot on a black stone
One foot on a black stone
There was an eerie light in you
As you passed through these open spaces
Our footprints set in stone in all these places
Nature’s mark burnt into all of our faces
