Why Can’t We Be the Universe

[Verse 1] Why can’t our love become the universe? Time, like waves, washes away our words Joy and sorrow drown in the tide Even if beauty hides in distant starlight Even if our songs and tears fall like dew Even if it all feels hollow and untrue Still, a fragile love lights the dark like a streetlamp [Verse 2] Why can’t our dreams become the universe? Years fall like rain on the work of our hands Glory and goodbyes swept into the flood Even if freedom sleeps in the ruins of thought Even if our light and scent drift with the leaves Even if every promise rings untrue Still, a quiet hope glows like fireflies in the dark [Chorus] We may not become the stars We may not outrun the night But tonight, we’re already part of it And tomorrow, we’ll find a wider sky Maybe we are the universe And the universe is us Endless as love Boundless as trust [Bridge] It’s not the end if we still believe It’s not in vain if we still give Even broken things can rise Like planets in the morning light [Final Chorus / Outro] So even if our love can’t be the universe Even if our dreams can’t stretch that far Tonight we shine like quiet stars And that’s enough Yes, that’s enough To call it love
