Before the Rain

Flash backward to the time Your silhouette disguised The glow of night's reflection Your outline locked in phase Like a vivid, liquid haze Lit up the night electric A moment staged for us Until we turn to dust Until time's evaporated But were we ever there Enraptured, unaware? We were lovers only dreaming We dared eternity and won Long before the rain had come We built a universe We held a cosmos in our hands Unstoppable force, the purest light To set the firmament alight We built a universe So we could hold the cosmos in our hands The switch turned to engage The power rushed and raged Lit up your face electric Lightspeed in a dream The static bursts, the stream The ultrasonic strains of music Revived in youth again With each step as we claim Shattered mirrors in the rainfall But were we ever there Enraptured, unaware? We were lovers only dreaming We dared eternity and won Long before the rain had come We built a universe We held a cosmos in our hands Unstoppable force, the purest light To set the firmament alight We built a universe So we could hold the cosmos in our hands
