Single for my new album, ATLANTIC, coming soooooonnnn

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

lyrics

So of course in heaven there was this old king
And of course there was his daughter, a beautiful thing
She was "woman who weaves cloth" and I wanted to meet her
She was "woman who weaves cloth" and I wanted to be her

So one spring day when she went out walking
She met "cow herder" and they got to talking
He didn't know riches, he didn't know gold
But that night, he said, "If I may be so bold, marry me."

They laugh, they talk, two closest friends
When they look at each other they can't see the end

Why couldn't they stay in this place forever?
When it comes to love, you know it's now or never
You can't stop just cause the shock is too much
You can't stop just cause the shock is too much

Up until this point, there was no conflict
But because the narrative of a tragedy demands it
The king saw their love and ordered to disband it
Relishing destroying the bond, ripping it, tearing it

Across the Milky Way he sent their souls
Screaming and crying, pole to pole
And they'd only be allowed to meet once each year
In the time between there was this burning fear

Of lost love, blame it on the distance
Of lost love, blame it on the distance
Of lost love killed by the distance
Of lost love killed by the distance

They laugh, they talk, two closest friends
But the moment they look away that is the end

These hollow promises to meet again
Well, Imma go and Imma fill them in
Yeah you can go, but know that I need you
And I think that you need me, too

(the ocean widens)

I just remembered something I need to tell you
But can I save it for when we meet again?
I just remembered something I need to tell you
But can I save it for the next time that I see you?

Baby
If I don't follow through
Never ever forgive me
