Pausing here on the stairs I hold on to the rail 2 deep breaths and 4 more steps If gravity won't fail me How could I have known How it would go? So many years between Divided by our screens I see you before you see me and I walk on through this rain It feels like a music video from the '80s How could I have known... I wanted love to find you where you were hiding And I wanted you to feel that you did the right thing It's a job too big for superman And you just can't turn the world around No matter how fast you fly backwards You just won't make it happen The clockwork universe spins around As the planet tilts and whirls The push and pull of our orbits Means asteroids will find us How could I have known... Years from now and I don't know how To even start to explain The planet's cooled, the war's called off And everyone rejoices How far we have come To make it to today How much we've done And still feel kind of young
