lyrics

Time used to be a thing I lived in stints
A prison sentence, a workday spent in shifts
And then I met you, our tongues as fresh as mints
And then I said why bother, let's enjoy these gifts

Two weeks, I still see in monochrome
And now I hope I never find my way home

Space used to be this empty vacuum
Plotted points connected by random walks
Now you constantly explode, joyfully take up room
Now your connection's the only thing that talks

Three weeks, you still see in monochrome
And now you hope you never find your way home

Our world's anew in white and black
We see everything that we used to lack
Now that it's all open just a crack
Fill it all with feeling so we can't go back

Color can't be kept outside forever
In time it's going to creep in at the corners
There's gonna be a bond we refuse to sever
A little heat we will keep to make us warmer

Seven weeks, we still see in monochrome
And now we hope we never find our way home
