Electricity

We met and then the world went from civilized to disguised in a heartbeat
Remember the Rohingya, Rwanda, Congo and Croatia
Hold Katrina and Irma next to Haiti and Maria
To see our slanting landscape
It's tilting and self-destructing but we're out tonight so is jazz alright?

We're like two astronauts trying to change their trajectories in space
In sight but just out of reach
There's nothing more slow and more alone than drifting away from your home
Slowly revolving at an arm's length away

I fall for you every day when you look my way
On this backdrop of eternity, you saved me

You're unique, you make funny jokes
About my muscles
So I know that you like them. You know I want to know that you like them
Cause there a power between us
That's more than I dreamed of

We're dangerous on our own like two charged poles grabbing hold
To some live lines downed in the cold
Life is better together than alone, sometimes we add a spark and then explode
A bright white magnesium is seen a galaxy away

I fall for you every day when you look my way
Our gravity pulls us in and we make electricity

Between you and me we can't always have perfect connection
But we're exactly as we're supposed to be
We're grounded and charging for the action
The future creates a slipstream
Life glides lightly with you toward the unseen
