lyrics

When you talk about stardust
And how it’s in all of us
The picture in my mind
Is so pretty I could cry
And when I mention Jesus Christ
I know how you roll your eyes
And if I’m telling you the truth
Most days I do it too

You and I
Don’t see eye to eye
On loads of things
But you and me
We both agree
That to believe in anything is a helluva thing

So you play the scientist
And I’ll take the alchemist
You can measure what you see
And I will read the leaves
And then when the sun is set
We’ll lay our bodies into beds
Skin covering ghosts
Knows dark matter matters most

You and I
Don’t see eye to eye
On loads of things
But you and me
We both agree
That to believe in anything is a helluva thing

It might not be as simple as I think
And we both might find ourselves awake
Asking what all of this means
And it might be the voice of God
Or it might be nothing at all
The answer is the same

We’re here because we’re here because we’re here
