What just went down, where is the sun?
Our star-crossed love's come undone
What was for eternity
Is just a blinding memory
First the sky went green
And reflected in his eyes
I saw the ghost in the machine
Then it happened, he was gone
We were standing on the sidewalk
There were people looking on
When an otherworldly force
Blew us into parallel worlds
Though I played a part of course
Crashing to earth on Half Moon Drive
Who am I, what have I survived?
Where have I been for all of these years?
All I recall beyond the tears
Is the sky went green
And I looked into his eyes
And saw the ghost in the machine
Then it happened, we were gone
He was standing on the sidewalk
There were people looking on
When an otherworldly force
Blew us into parallel worlds
Though I played my part of course
And all at once, the memories
Come rushing back
The frozen years, his glowing eyes
That fade to black
Then it happens, then he's gone
And I'm standing on this sidewalk
With these people looking on
With my otherworldly force
Gone onto a parallel world
Though I played a part of course
