This is the fifth of my proposed 262 song-a-weeks. Wish me luck! And thanks for listening. If you'd like to see the video, it's here: youtu.be/OZNSqdgb9BE

lyrics

somewhere there's an alternate universe
where everything is really great,
where we always meet for coffee
or we're calling each other on the phone
somewhere there's an alternate universe
where's we're staying up and talking late
we are the one the other one reaches out to
when he's feeling alone

and in the other universe
we always have each other's back
we haven't scared each other off
or hurt each other yet

we are suspended
in that lovely place between
we are suspended
And the slate is still so clean
and I've pretended that we're doing fine,
that we're nowhere near the end
no it's not ended - we simply chose to suspend.

somewhere there's a spacetime continuum
where I haven't gone to crazy town
where I haven't asked you for a single thing
that you weren't ready to give
and somewhere there's a spacetime continuum
where you haven't ever let me down
where I didn't fall away from you like so much water
through a sieve

okay I switched the metaphor
but think about a colander
you pour in wet spaghetti
and the water sluices out

and it's suspended
Like a million drops of rain
yeah it's suspended
Between the pasta and the drain
have I descended through those little holes,
and am I washed away?
I like to think I'm suspended,
'cause then we might still be okay.

if there were no gravity, the water wouldn't fall out of the colander,
no, it would stay suspended in the air.
And if there were no gravity I wouldn't have to think about
the things that pulled us far apart, I wouldn't even care
and if there were no gravity, the little things that added up
to way too much would never come together anyway
I wish there were no gravity, but I can't fight with gravity,
and I am falling faster farther from you ... every day.

So we're suspended,
We have stopped and not rewound
we are suspended,
We'll never get back off the ground.
Can this be mended?
Can we turn back time, reverse this downward trend?
As much as I might hope and wish
I'm just not in your pasta dish.
So long and thanks for all the fish,
My friend.
I think this is the end.

somewhere there's an alternate universe
where you and I are the best of friends.
