Their Bodies Made The Solar System

"Everytime you look down at me, it feels just like
God's staring right back at me. It's got to be a sign
That He's got something greater planned for us,
something more than what we've got.
And don't you get that feeling when you lay beside
My body in your bedroom that this is something right,
Something with more promise than this old ring
That weighs my hand down to the dirt floor.
Last night, I fell asleep inside of a history book
And it made me get nostalgic for those nights when things were good,
Back when the only thing that I lusted for
Was quiet and simplicity.
And you can have my future, if that's what you want.
And God can take my eternity, what I want, I've got.
I've got your arms around me and it's enough
To give me all the peace I could handle.
And I just had a sorry thought:
Do you wonder what we've been taught?
We can lie but we're not
Ever free to be anything we please.
This keeps me from being free
To love you."

And their bodies sleep inside the sky.
His eyes are the planets, and her diamond's the stars.
And they wonder why they gravitated towards each other.
And they wonder what the hell made them find each other.
And they wonder when their day will come to be with each other.
And they wonder, and they wonder, and they wonder.
But he doesn't leave.
