So Are We

I'm walking on a long night Under silent distant planes In the bright candescent veins From sky an orange maze And I've been moving through the bloodline Where the chain reaction starts And electrifies our hearts We all just want to shock back who we are Between the stars Between flickers of a street light And the time it takes to read Both signs above the street And the miles that they meet Make me think about the way I Went out winding through the years Just to find you standing here Our lives designed like finely tuned gears In the craftsman's clock I think about you now The universe and how It all, maybe, was meant to be And so are we I think about the last time The colors here changed I heard somewhere somebody say It really stays the same It's only on the outside When it's cold and all the trees Can't justify their leaves Let go and gold was always underneath The green I think about you now The universe and how It all, maybe, was meant to be And so are we I think about the sunrise And the way it rides the air Through the windows frosty layers Just clear enough to stare And wonder with our own eyes In the moments half asleep Extensions of a dream, maybe We're infinite like miles in between The pinpricks filled with fire in the galaxies That swirl and stir a quiet morning's subtle breeze And you and me Are meant to be
