There’s a line, not straight
A curve through space, a twist in time
And this arc has no end
I tried to show my friend… when it got dark (I said)


“Do you want to see where the line’s drawn?
Take my hand, walk out on the lawn
Do you want to see where the line’s drawn?
It's the starlight above, sent before we were born
Sent before we were born”


There’s a line through infinity
Through every galaxy and every quark
And the universe is curved
Now she’s unnerved… well, it could be worse


We sat on the porch, I turned out the light
We just counted stars, as they came at night
She lost the count… and I lost the plot
But we can start again… we can just start again


Do you want to see where the line’s drawn?
