It's Not Jupiter

It's not Jupiter that we watched from your couch

Through the window while the winter whipped itself around

It's not simple, this thing in front of us

But we do our best to make a name for it

And the Milky Way dropped its stars above the night

Chasin' blindly after Orion as he hunted through the sky

And the sands inside the hourglass give us a knowing sigh

But in the living room, with this clear view, it’s only you and I

Nothing is quite as it seems

What a lovely thing

And it's laughable to think back how long it took

For the mercy and the atoms to make existence up

And the nights I spent with arms outstretched hoping you would come

And here you are, under the stars, and I am drinking up

Nothing is quite as it seems

What a lovely thing

Seven sisters grant my wishes

And won't you keep your whispers

In the wild of the moonlight

While I'm fallin' asleep by his side

So I’ve been torn and turning

Bound to fates I didn’t bargain

Let me linger in this moment for a little longer

And the greater dog tricked us all along

That night we watched the southern sky above the tennis courts

And I realize I don’t need a name to call

This simple thing, earth shattering, being wrapped up in your arms

Nothing is quite as it seems

Nothing is quite as it seems

Nothing is quite as it seems

What a lovely thing
