Liner Notes

#folk #girlwithpiano #science #lovesong #queer #skirmish

A very late submission to the skirmish, but it really resonated with me, and I'm sure happy with the results.

It is also a response song (#challenge) to the Indigo Girl's "Mystery" - I've had the line "meet in the middle of impossibility" in my head for several years now.

Lyrics

Meeting in the Middle
Jemma Kline

To touch your skin, to braid your hair,
I had to choose one million pathways.
Each tiny branch, too small to see,
But they all were heading your way.

How could we meet across a bridge so very wide?
What were the odds that we would both cross that divide?
I had to learn to be the me that fell for you.
You had to learn to be the one to find me too.

The lines and grace, upon my face,
Are signs I found the strength to trust me.
The turning point, one simple choice,
Now at last I’m living freely.

How could we meet across a bridge so very wide?
What were the odds that we would both cross that divide?
I had to learn to be the me that fell for you.
You had to learn to be the one to find me too.

Perhaps it’s waves that overlap,
Einstein-Rosen, we collapse,
As equations tell us we will never know.
But here we are, on quantum foam,
Join in the middle, as we roam,
And it matters not what secrets lie below.

How could we meet across a bridge so very wide?
What were the odds that we would both cross that divide?
I had to learn to be the me that fell for you.
You had to learn to be the one to find me too.
