How We Met, The Long Version - Jens Lekman

[00:47.21]Nothing became something
[00:50.99]Turned itself inside out
[00:55.50]Subatomic particles became atoms, became stars, became galaxies
[01:03.40]The earth's crust became solidified
[01:11.61]The planets became perfectly aligned
[01:16.74]Jupiter blinked with its little red eye
[01:21.90]
[01:22.80]Oxygen replaced methane
[01:26.66]A party started in the ocean
[01:30.81]Trilobites and crustaceans
[01:34.85]A Cambrian explosion
[01:37.96]
[01:53.60]A conga line headed up on land
[02:00.13]Out of the water and into the frying pan
[02:08.97]A layer of iridium paved the way
[02:16.50]For furry mammals with big, beautiful brains
[02:22.50]
[02:24.12]The Congo River divided the chimpanzees
[02:31.22]The peaceful bonobos from the ones like you and me
[02:35.17]As soon we stood up, picked an apple from a tree
[02:38.95]Someone pointed a finger, said, \"That apple belongs to me\"
[02:44.69]
[02:59.65]And people fought and loved and died
[03:01.36]And everywhere babies opened their eyes
[03:03.40]And had their hearts broken, laughed, and cried
[03:05.66]Watched the planets slowly collide
[03:07.44]
[03:08.20]And one day I asked if I could borrow your bass guitar
[03:14.78]Not that I needed one
[03:18.25]But I didn't know where to start
[03:21.14]
[03:24.55]One magic night in an empty backyard
[03:30.70]You grabbed my arm and kissed me quick
[03:35.96]Under a heaven full of stars
[03:39.86]
[03:39.96]And that's the story of how we met
[03:45.82]The long version
[03:48.33]And you can call it fate or chance
[03:53.90]But we made it happen
[03:58.18]We made it happen, we made it happen
