So Are We

I'm walking on a long night

Under silent distant planes

In the bright candescent veins

From sky an orange maze

And I've been moving through the bloodline

Where the chain reaction starts and electrifies our hearts

We all just want to shock back who we are

Between the stars

Between flickers of a street light

And the time it takes to read both signs above the street

And the miles that they meet

Make me think about the way I

Went out winding through the years just to find you standing here

Our lives designed like finely tuned gears

In the craftsman's clock

I think about you now

The universe and how

It all, maybe, was meant to be

And so are we

I think about the last time the colors here changed

I heard somewhere somebody say

It really stays the same, it's only on the outside

When it's cold and all the trees

Can't justify their leaves

Let go and gold was always underneath

The green

I think about you now

The universe and how

It all maybe was meant to be

And so are we

I think about the sunrise

And the way it rides the air

Through the windows frosty layers, just clear enough to stare

And wonder with our own eyes

In the moments half asleep

Extensions of a dream, maybe

We're infinite like miles in between

The pinpricks filled with fire in the galaxies

That swirl and stir a quiet morning's subtle breeze

And you and me

Are meant to be
