Another Planet

[Verse 1] I packed a paper map and a jar of blue Left my old address where the comets flew Past the edge of every telescope Found a little world with a silver slope [Pre-Chorus] You were waiting by a violet sea With a glass of water from a different dream You said, “Come on, there’s room for two” So I left my name and followed you [Chorus] On another planet outside the universe You and I are turning every rule in reverse Where the rivers run upward and the hills take flight I could stay beside you for a thousand bright nights On another planet, far beyond the known You make a strange new world feel like home [Verse 2] We ate ripe moons from a garden wall Watched the little oceans climb the sky and fall Your laugh sent rings across the dusty plain And every blue flower opened in the rain [Pre-Chorus] You drew our initials in the drifting sand Then the wind took them and we held hands No clocks here to tell us when to go Just your eyes and a warm red glow [Chorus] On another planet outside the universe You and I are turning every rule in reverse Where the rivers run upward and the hills take flight I could stay beside you for a thousand bright nights On another planet, far beyond the known You make a strange new world feel like home [Bridge] If the map folds up, let it fold We’ve got nowhere we need to be told Every distant place can disappear When I turn and find you standing here [Final Chorus] On another planet outside the universe You and I are turning every rule in reverse Where the rivers run upward and the hills take flight I could stay beside you for a thousand bright nights On another planet, far beyond the known You make a strange new world feel like home [Outro] Far beyond the known You make this strange new world feel like home
