It’s Not Jupiter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Nothing is quite as it seems What a lovely thing [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Nothing is quite as it seems What a lovely thing [Bridge] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Nothing is quite as it seems Nothing is quite as it seems Nothing is quite as it seems What a lovely thing
