Lyrics
Quasar Love
By Ted Horrell
Well you’re so much bigger than you used to be
And I feel infinitesimal beside your knee
I get lost in space when I look at your face
But there’s really no place I’d rather be
Well I want to probe you but I just can’t start
‘Cause there’s just too much darkness there to find a heart
At the contact point I’m afraid to disappoint
It’s like a pinpoint, it’s killing me
Like a dust cloud made from rockets on parade
There’s no way to evade it now
Sometimes the planets don’t align like you think they should
I tried to get you off my mind, but it ain’t no good
There’s just too much of you
To try to see through
Like the sun and the stars and the moon
I’m at the speed of light, but baby time ain’t flying
When you’re in quasar love, you’re on borrowed time
Black hole times ten I can’t even begin
Til it feels like it’s a sin it’s killing me
There’s a warning light trying to interrupt my flight
But I’m too far into night right now
Sometimes the planets don’t align like you think they should
I tried to get you off my mind, but it ain’t no good
There’s just too much of you
To try to see through
Like the sun and the stars and the moon
