How We Met
The Long Version
Nothing became something
Turned itself inside out
Subatomic particles
became atoms
became stars
became galaxies
The earth's crust
became solidified
The planets became
perfectly aligned
Jupiter blinked with
its little red eye

Oxygen replaced methane
A party started in the ocean
Trilobites and crustaceans
A Cambrian explosion

A conga line headed up
on land
Out of the water and
into the frying pan
A layer of iridium
paved the way
For furry mammals with big
beautiful brains

The Congo River divided
the chimpanzees
The peaceful bonobos
from the ones
like you and me
As soon we stood up
picked an apple
from a tree
Someone pointed a finger
said, "That apple
belongs to me."

And people fought
and loved and died
And everywhere babies
opened their eyes
And had their hearts broken
laughed, and cried
Watched the planets
slowly collide

And one day I asked
if I could borrow your
bass guitar
Not that I needed one
But I didn't know
where to start

One magic night
in an empty backyard
You grabbed my arm
and kissed me quick
Under a heaven full of stars

And that's the story
of how we met
The long version
And you can call it fate
or chance
But we made it happen
We made it happen
we made it happen
