lyrics

I spun the dial, I zoomed in
And happened on the most peculiar thing
A brand new star; the brightest point of light I’d seen so far
Had to go to her; her luminosity proved too much of a lure
So all the best advice I went against when I moved in

Love sprung forth like a supernova
Now we’re circling each other over and over
Love grew into a hypergiant
Whose magnetic fields we’ve both come to rely on
And I don’t mind if you don’t too

She’s of a higher spectral class
Than all the superstars and bright young things that pass
Across my sky; daylight breaks and she’s the reason why
Quickens the pulsar when our orbital planes collide
Her prominences bring water to the eye
But that’s all right

Love sprung forth like a supernova
Now we’re circling each other over and over
Love grew into a hypergiant
Like the third from the right in the belt of Orion
And I don’t mind if you don’t too

And I don’t mind
If she fills up the sky
Honey I don’t care
If I wake up and Earth’s no longer there
Such is our love
Can you feel it now

Love sprung forth like a supernova
Now we’re circling each other over and over
Love grew into a hypergiant
Whose magnetic fields we’ve both come to rely on

So let our worlds collide
I don’t care if I'm blinded by the light
