remember the time we went to the observatory
i showed you all my favorite nebulae
you didn't know anything about them, but smiled anyways
i had never seen them so close

i almost couldn't stop peering up at them
but i had to
you watched me so intently
like you'd never seen me either
i'm remembering something i've thought about before

looking toward the sky again
all the colors in oranges and blues and whites
held together in a neat cloud, they might collide
even though they are so far apart

i don't see it, but i think you're getting closer
i hope you're getting closer
i'm feeling lonely right now
and this silence is giving me chills

turning up to see them again, your eyes
i can't say anything, but i think you know what i mean
let's sit together for awhile
