Story Behind The Song

My wife changed my life, all of my love songs are about her. I've been interested in physics since childhood, so I thought it would be an interesting approach to write a song about my relationship with my wife from that point of view. There are so many comparisons we can make between relationships, relativity and physics.

Song Description

Compares love and relationships to physics, proximity and relativity. Fun and upbeat with a soft, touching bridge section.

Lyrics

Here's a little something I learned about you
it takes more than science to uncover the truth
about the time and space that you occupy

No one else can fit in your shoes
and that's fine by me cause you're a dream come true
and whatever we face, I know that we'll get by

Einstein never explained it like this
But you're relative to me and my relatives
Like a star flashing across the sky
I look up to you and I wonder why you shine on me
Out of all the other fish in the sea

It's Physics for two, me and you
You're space warped my time and I'm cruisin'
at the speed of light where time stands still
This love ain't no theory, it's no illusion
We can try to work it out with geometry
and it's got a bit to do with our chemistry
but the way I'm feeling started with you
and it's physics, physics for two


Some nights I look up at the stars
A sense of wonder fills my heart when I think
"Hey, we're part of this place!"

And all the neat things there are to do
My reaction is multiplied by two
when I see the wonder on your face

Einstein never explained it like this
But you're relative to me and my relatives
Like a star flashing across the sky
I look up to you and I wonder why you shine on me
Out of all the other fish in the sea

(chorus)

Like an island in the sea
there's just you and me
Drifting through a crazy world
Will you be my girl?

I don't care about the worm holes
or the bending of space
You're my here and now
And we're two, in one place
