Red Planet

(album: Alvvays - 2014)

It's been almost twenty years on the Red Planet
A place where there are no tears, it is just water floating
No, they're not quite emoting

I dream of the other days, of the times I held you
Left in an autumn blaze, now I idle in bubbles
Just collecting the rubble

Well I waited for you out here, but that was just delusional
And I've painted all these pictures of Earth, but that's unusual
Unusual to you

Met at a seminar, shared the same table
Brushed by you at the bar, didn't match your description
It soon became my prescription

I think of the junipers in the spring growing
Fall up on Jupiter, it doesn't draw a reaction
Temporary distraction

And I've waited for you out here, but that may be delusional
And I've painted all these pictures of Earth, but that's unusual
Unusual to you
Unusual, unusual, unusual to you

And I waited for forever, and that was just delusional
So I've painted all these pictures of Earth, but that's unusual
Unusual, unusual, unusual to you
