lyrics
We orbit each other as we yearn
We feel each others’ pull and burn
As we dance I see us turn / increasingly so fast
They say we may be past our prime
No we’re not Gs, we’re not that type
Cannot escape attraction this time / to each others’ mass
They see us as black holes
Or maybe neutron stars
If they listen closely
They’ll hear us very far
When you and I
We both collide
They’ll see from far away
You and I— We will make Great Waves
The speed of light cannot be changed
Lasers set, mirrors arranged
To sense when we have bent their space / by fractions of protons
They'll make a world-wide network
Of interferometers
And we’ll combine our talents to
Make a show that can be heard
When you and I
We both collide
They’ll see from far away
You and I— We will make great waves
Einstein said that generally
In terms of relativity
When massive bodies make activity / for lightyears we’ll bend space
The next act is a nova
But now’s our time to shine
We’ll create some ripples
Throughout space and time
When you and I
We both collide
They’ll see from far away
You and I— We will make great waves
We feel each others’ pull and burn
As we dance I see us turn / increasingly so fast
They say we may be past our prime
No we’re not Gs, we’re not that type
Cannot escape attraction this time / to each others’ mass
They see us as black holes
Or maybe neutron stars
If they listen closely
They’ll hear us very far
When you and I
We both collide
They’ll see from far away
You and I— We will make Great Waves
The speed of light cannot be changed
Lasers set, mirrors arranged
To sense when we have bent their space / by fractions of protons
They'll make a world-wide network
Of interferometers
And we’ll combine our talents to
Make a show that can be heard
When you and I
We both collide
They’ll see from far away
You and I— We will make great waves
Einstein said that generally
In terms of relativity
When massive bodies make activity / for lightyears we’ll bend space
The next act is a nova
But now’s our time to shine
We’ll create some ripples
Throughout space and time
When you and I
We both collide
They’ll see from far away
You and I— We will make great waves
