lyrics

thought I saw a light streak across the sky
I swore that when I listened hard I could hear
your heartbeat speeding up
was it all in my mind or was it a sign?

thought I heard a sound like big trees coming down
you licked your lips a bit and I read so deeply into it
in the depths of random noise, I heard an angel’s voice
& let the static sink into me, surrendered to the mystery:
could you hear me, my heart beating?

thought I felt something, the ground was shaking
were you reaching out to me?
is there life in other galaxies?
was it all in my mind or was it a sign?

let the music sink into me, surrender to the mystery
could you hear me, my heart beating?

when you know the trick, it kind of ruins it
troubled is the heart that knows itself a little bit too well
was it all in my mind or was it a sign?
