Red Shift

(album: Songs For Imaginative People - 2013)

Spiral galaxies would turn in your eyes
When I came by with a small surprise
You loved all of my little quarks, so what went wrong?
Don't superstring me along, come on

Was there a big bang that I just missed?
Did some explosion cause a redshift?
'Cause you're moving away from me but what did I do?
The universe is mostly empty space without you

Wave or particle, I can't be both
So just say which way you like me most
I can be an experiment in your bedroom lab
To figure how the light we had went bad

[chorus]

I'll build a collider and smash us to bits
To see what's inside us, to see if we stick
'Cause I will try anything this side of the Milky Way
To figure out why in the world you're drifting away

[chorus x2]
