[Verse 1] The atoms in your fingertips Have outlived every king Still they chose this afternoon To brush against my skin [Pre-Chorus] What are the odds Of all this borrowed matter Finding one another [Chorus] Maybe love is only matter Choosing not to be alone Maybe every living creature Is the universe coming home [Verse 2] Every breath I borrow now Has crossed a thousand living things Through the lungs of wolves and children Through the feathers under wings Every name is temporary Every body just a flame Burning borrowed chemistry Until it changes shape again [chorus] Maybe love is only matter Choosing not to be alone Maybe every living creature Is the universe coming home
