Apparent Brightness

You followed the light, followed the light
But you couldn't find us
You must have been fooled by
Our apparent brightness, oooh

A million years from now is now (to you)
The fabric of the sky lifts and fills like a parachute

But the stars don't show
The moment we stopped dancing, no
No, no one knows
Electro-magnet radio waves
Are the ghosts that show you where to go
Ooooh Ooooh

All you could see with your naked eye
Was the trace of light we left behind oooh
The light you saw was an old reflection
Playing reruns like on television oooh

A million years from now is now (to you)
The fabric of the sky lifts and fills like a parachute

But the stars don't show
The moment we stopped dancing, no
No, no one knows
Electro-magnet radio waves
Are the ghosts that show you where to go ooooh

Look up at the sky
You can see we're not alone tonight
Let's go outside
We can chase the light, we can chase the light
Through space and time
But there's nothing here to find
Oooh Oooh

You see
Graveyards, old churches
We built to set our minds at ease
Our bad love, destruction
Were outside the spectrum we could see
To-do lists unfinished
Our names carved into a tree
With the plea
Don't erase me
Don't erase me
Don't erase me
