This Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A bang, then stardust in your eyes A billion years or just this night Either way it'll be all right A blackness, then the light of a million stars As you slip into in my car The evening sky strikes sparks [Chorus 1] This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect? [Verse 2] At night at my telescope alone This emptiness I've roamed Searching for a home The stars, a brief string of shining charms Rushing in red out of our arms Into the drifting dark [Chorus 2] This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect? This life, this life and then the next I finger the hem of your dress My universe at rest [Bridge] We reach for starlight all night long But gravity's too strong Chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on Then a million suns cresting were you stood A beauty in the neighborhood This lonely planet never looked so good [Chorus 2] This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect? This life, this life and then the next I finger the hem of your dress My universe at rest
