Venus

The night sky once ruled my imagination.

Now I turn the dials with careful calculation.

After a while, I thought I’d never find you.

I convinced myself that I would never find you,

When suddenly I saw you.

At first I thought you were a constellation.

I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation:

You’re as beautiful as endless,

You’re the universe I’m helpless in.

An astronomer at my best

When I throw away the measurements.

Like a telescope,

I will pull you so close

'til no space lies in between.

And suddenly I see you.

Suddenly I see you.

I was a billion little pieces

'til you pulled me into focus.

Astronomy in reverse,

It was me who was discovered.

(I thought I’d never find you,

When suddenly I saw you.)

Like a telescope,

I will pull you so close,

'til no space lies in between.

Then suddenly I see you.
