Ships in the Night
YOU AND ME
[Verse 1]
We were two ships passing in the night,
Or so the world believed, kept neatly out of sight.
You with your ring, and I with mine,
Two separate paths, two lives perfectly aligned
To the expectations, the safe, suburban plan,
Walking the line held out by every man.
Then your hand brushed mine across the dinner table, set for eight,
A tremor of a future sealed by fate.
We saw the madness flicker in each other's eyes,
The reckless, beautiful urge to shatter the disguise.
[Chorus]
It was a wildfire in the quiet, a secret we couldn't keep,
A love that dove too deep, refusing to fall asleep.
It was a leap of faith, a glorious, foolish risk we ran,
Defying every promise and the structure of the plan.
It was a bizarre unreasonable romanticism,
A truth that set us free from every binding schism.
We let the pieces fall, embracing the sweet catastrophe,
It was a bizarre unreasonable romanticism,
And we embraced it with pure and wild glee.
[Verse 2]
They said we'd lost our minds, traded stability for smoke,
That only desperation could drive the vows we broke.
We heard the whispers, the sharp, judgmental sigh,
But we were living in a magic where the laws of physics die.
The world outside was grey, insistent, and so cold,
But our stolen hours were velvet, spun in purest gold.
We knew our chance was slim, the odds insurmountable,
Yet we pressed forward, our conviction unrefutable.
Unreasonable in our hopes, demanding everything,
We stepped across the threshold, heard the final hammer swing.
[Chorus]
It was a wildfire in the quiet, a secret we couldn't keep,
A love that dove too deep, refusing to fall asleep.
It was a leap of faith, a glorious, foolish risk we ran,
Defying every promise and the structure of the plan.
It was a bizarre unreasonable romanticism,
A truth that set us free from every binding schism.
We let the pieces fall, embracing the sweet catastrophe,
It was a bizarre unreasonable romanticism,
And we embraced it with pure and wild glee.
[Bridge]
Now years have spun to silver threads, the panic's long since flown,
We look back at that hurricane and claim it as our own.
We didn't just survive; we blossomed where the concrete split,
We made a home from nothing, by the stubborn strength of wit.
That fierce, illogical calling, that sudden, sweet release,
It was the greatest triumph, the purest, wild, true peace.
[Chorus]
It was a wildfire in the quiet, a secret we couldn't keep,
A love that dove too deep, refusing to fall asleep.
It was a leap of faith, a glorious, foolish risk we ran,
Defying every promise and the structure of the plan.
It was a bizarre unreasonable romanticism,
A truth that set us free from every binding schism.
We let the pieces fall, embracing the sweet catastrophe,
It was a bizarre unreasonable romanticism,
And we embraced it with pure and wild glee.
[Outro]
They thought we'd gone mad,
But darling, we just finally woke up.
We built a world where magic won,
A future only we could dream up.
Unreasonable...
Bizarre...
And ours.
Yes, ours.
YOU AND ME TONIGHT.
