Venus & Mercury Lyrics

First day of December and the sky is as gray

As the sweater that you wore and the very first day

When the wind did howl and the wolves did growl all around you

I passed you on the street you looked a little older

A voice inside my head said you really should have told her

But the words escaped me and somehow lately I've been tongue tied

Driving through Nebraska with the temperature rising

I thought i saw the answer way off on the horizon

Though I didn't know the question yet I thought that I should mention it because

You said you need to know the approximate direction

I think that we should go and if there's any misconception

Then we should try to solve it or at least maybe resolve it in New Mexico

Way up in the sky Venus and Mercury are

Perfectly aligned which only happens every

Once in awhile so maybe we should find some time

Could the magic that we felt in June

Perhaps resurface now or sometime soon

Or will we just get lost inside a Coldplay tune

Last day of December I can barely feel my fingers

They're packing up the bells, lights and all the singers

Though we could always go inside warm up and also run hide we might just

Lose our way

Decide to save it for another day

And hope the whole thing might just

Fade to grey or maybe we should we wait

Way up in the sky Venus and Mercury are

Perfectly aligned which only happens every

Once in awhile so maybe we should find some time

Or maybe leave it all behind
