Spirals Lyrics

You marked

The back of my hand

You drew a heart

And some tiny dots

And a spiral

Which reminded me

Of the Milky Way

And it made me think



If our galaxy

And Andromeda

Felt like you and me

Were like the way we are

They couldn't feel as vast

And if they join

At six billion lives per second

And they danced around

Linking spiral arms

As they'd spin

Spin through infinity

They couldn't feel as vast

As I feel now



Galactic tectonic shifts

In my chest

And behind my eyes

And yet the smallest vibration

Like the touch of your pen

Makes my hair makes my hair stand on end



You marked

The back of my hand

You drew a heart

And some tiny dots

And a spiral

Which together spell

'I want you'

In electricity
