Red Shift - Stripped

Sometimes I measure time in distance
Sometimes I want to break the clock
Every year adds space between us
All the waves are growing soft

I feel the peaks getting warmer
The hue shifting away from blue
A journey into the darkness
Traveling to get to you

Watch me as I red shift
Look before I fade out of view
I was fast but now my color’s fading
Light is history creating
A record that we know is true
Watch me as I red shift

Red shift
Red shift

I’m leaving optic fingerprints
Around me everywhere
Nothing ever is forgotten
We just don’t stay aware

The universe remembers it
Even when we can’t decipher it
Every choice, every word
Every dream deferred

Watch me as I red shift
Look before I fade out of view
I was fast but now my color’s fading
Light is history creating
A record that we know is true
Watch me as I red shift

Red shift
Red shift

I was bright enough to find you
Now I hum below your view
If you miss me, don’t call it dying
Call it light outgrowing you
Watch me as I red shift
Nothing lost, just stretched too wide
Every moment ever living
Still survives the other side
Watch me as I red shift

If you miss me when I’m gone
You just learned how time expands
Watch me as I red shift
Red shift

Red shift
Red shift
Red shift
Red shift
