Story Behind The Song
This song explores the vastness of the universe and how insignificant our lives can feel. We have to hold on to the good memories we do have to find significance. Once a moment has passed, it doesn't disappear into the void, but rather is held inside us forever. Inspired by a book about terminal illness.

Lyrics
There's not enough time/ and too many wrong words to say/ the consequence and concept/ of the universe at play/ one star on the other side of the sky/ is reading your thoughts/ and sends a reply/ a never ending hour/ an always ending future/ a little piece of forever/ a little peace kept forever/
never waiting, always changing/ we are stargazing at the universe/ collapsing and expanding/ have you, have you ever seen the universe/ for what it's worth
i've thoughts and wishes/ locked in a room/ across the atlantic/ i'd waste one with you/ it's leaving me breathless/ and reckless with pain/ it's leading us forward/ with strength in your veins
/i'll meet you there/ okay?
