Stardate III Lyrics

Dear Joe, you know, I'm glad you stayed

I've been feeling, sometimes, in a similar way

Looking back it's probably clear what was due to change

It's funny how we work so hard to stay the same

But at the end of the day when the fog lifts

And you look through the grey and see all of your problems

It all looks so different with perspective

Objects in the mirror may be bigger than you reckoned

Some days I wonder where we're headed and I plot a course

Other days I'm just happy floating on the breeze

It seems unexpected people fill my wings

So what comes next, well we'll just have to see

Oh, I'm glad I met you

Because I don't know how I'd have found

Some of the things that you knew

So, I'm glad you stuck around

Dear Dee

You know I'm glad you stayed

I'd been missing life too in a similar shade of grey

You reminded me life is poetry and joy will come with rain

But you gotta plant the seeds if you wanna see the grain

So I set a new pace when I needed it most

Gender euphoria hit me hard in your pinstripe coat

Oh my god, what a gift, the permission to float

To be reminded that it's worth it to keep rowing the boat

Some days I wonder where we're headed and I plot a course

Other days I'm just happy floating on the breeze

It seems unexpected people fill my wings

So what comes next, well we'll just have to see

Oh, I'm glad I met you

Because I don't know how I'd have found

Some of the things that you knew

So I'm glad you stuck around

Don't know where we're headin

Won't waste another second

This future promised pain

So we find joy here in present

The known unknown we're walking

There's so much strength in talking

Wear it on my chest like a medal these days

In case you're star-bound

In a similar way

Well what comes next

I used to think I knew

But not knowing and staying hopeful

Is a secret they cant sell to you

Let your shoulders down

We seldom get a chance to rest

So take a second to just exist

While I try to speak my truth

From the bottom of my heart

The iron in our body comes from dying stars

So I breathe life into the face

Of everybody that i meet,

Learn their story by telling mine

You know your heart

Death or life, take your pick

Honey we are more than just body parts

Let go of the future

Be with me in the present

You'd be amazed to see

What you've already been getting

Oh, I'm glad I met you

Because I don't know how I'd have found

Some of the things that you knew

So, I'm glad you stuck around

Oh you know I'd miss you

If I never met you

Oh you know I'd miss you
