Abigail's Questions (in An Infinite Universe)
In an infinite universe
My first breath seems very close to my last
On the other hand:
Nothing has a beginning
Nothing has an end
In this infinite universe
Her breath felt so warm in the pouring rain
In the night we spoke
of the cold and vast darkness
Abigail told me that
"Nothing has a beginning,
Nothing has an end..."
"What lures around the bend
of the continous expanding infinity
that twirls my mind?
Will it like a rubber band
get stretched 'til it snaps?
send itself hurling back
through time and space
But if it's infinite... that means it all has
to go at the same time... right?"
"Like the white dot in the middle of the TV
when you turn it off
SongtexteJust seizing to exist,
from everything to nothing
or maybe the other way around?"
She felt lost there, like I'm lost here,
but where else could we go
our speculations were multi-layered
so we rolled with the flow
if space is the final frontier,
we're still part of it
Lost in suspended animation forever
Abigail, take my hand
Follow me, let's run down the milky way
stay with me, Abigail, my crazy source of joy
Don't ever let go
In my infinite loneliness
Her first kiss is all I can think of now
But she left me a trail
so I guess I'd better go check it out, huh?
you should totally check it out!
In an infinite universe
My first breath seems very close to my last
On the other hand:
Nothing has a beginning
Nothing has an end
