There was a night
(A s-s-summer night)
Where the stars and planets all aligned
You had me completely enraptured
Well done, heart captured
A climax to all of the glimpses and glances
Looking your way, being caught in your gaze
No more lying awake thinking what are the chances
Of all the unlikely circumstances
Two objects hurling through the cosmos
Slowly converging passing so close
Nearly parallel (n-n-nearly parallel)
Not enough time to brace for the farewell
But for a moment, caught in the orbit
Side by side, it's gonna happen or it's not
Nearly parallel (n-n-nearly parallel)
Not enough time to brace for the farewell
Sorry if I sound like I'm still yearning
I'm just glad we chose to take the journey
You know my opinion on fate
I guess we didn't have it in us to make a change
Didn't quite land where we aimed
But it's always gonna kill me how close we came
Never seen a light like yours before
Never enough, I'll always want more
Passing, swirling, phasing through each other
In the brief moments we mixed, we made a beautiful color
Such a striking chord
Overtones never heard before
Might never be heard again
But I'll always remember when
All the stars and planets conspired
To bring us together and set us on fire
Shining,blazing, soaring through the clouds
Til all the oxygen ran out
Til a fall took place
I'll admit we got a little too close to space
But while we were flying high
It always felt like
(It always felt like)
Sorry if I sound like I'm still pining
(We both know that)
No amount of time would satisfy me
You know my opinion on fate
I guess we didn't have it in us to make a change
Didn't quite land where we aimed
But it's always gonna kill me how close we came
