Particle Collider

from Naomi Fearn at Geek Pop by Naomi Fearn

lyrics

You were the supernova in my life
I could see you and me being husband and wife
But the expansion of the distance
Between you and I
Was accelerating
And I don't know why

I will build a particle collider
I will try to find
A new physics to explain
Why the strong force
Of our attraction
Wasn't strong enough to bind
Us together til the end of Time

I knew that physics wasn't really your thing
But I still hoped you would accept my ring
But maybe I blew it when I blew up the car
I didn't know the laser beam would reach that far

And I would like to say that I'm sorry that
Miffy didn't survive her turn as Schrodingers cat
I guess now we know that as long as the lid stays closed
the cat is certainly dead if you don't put in airholes.

All I wanted to see was the look in your eyes
As I go up to collect the noble prize
I don’t know what I did to make the dream shatter
But I know that now my heart is filled with dark matter

I will build detectors
Sixteen stories high
To detect that particle
Of time
That I missed
That made you go

The largest machine ever built
Won't bring you back

I will build a particle collider
I will try to find
A new physics to explain
Why the strong force
Of our attraction
Wasn't strong enough to bind
Us together til the end of time

And if I find a new particle
No one has ever seen
It might not prove
There is a god
But it might prove
I really was
in love.
