A Billion Tons Of Light

From the mountains to the oceans

The places where we live

From your mouth and on through

My mouth, it is everywhere

Pulsing in the heat of your warm breath

In the trains and on the runway

In factories and schools

From the safety of your long arms

I reach endlessly from here

Our fingerprints are everywhere

You're a daughter, I'm a son

I almost said I love you

A billion tons of light explodes

We are illuminated now

A billion tons of light explodes

We are illuminated now

As I lie against your body

That will one day let you down

From the safety of this moment

I reach endlessly from here

I reach endlessly, endlessly

This adds up to more than us

I almost said I love you

A billion tons of light

We are illuminated now

A billion tons of light explodes

We are illuminated now
