	Story Behind the Song This song was inspired by an actual article in a Scientific American that Matt was eyeing during a long, boring flight from Seattle to Chicago. The lyrics and music came quickly and easily when Matt started singing about parallel universes to entertain Geoff. Nerdy love songs are quite funny, you see. It was recorded in a single day in a rented house on 6th Street in Goshen, Indiana. How many takes? Ha ha ha... there were no "takes". Lyrics As I flew on the plane home to you, A magazine caught my eye In the back of the seat. It was a Scientific American. It had stories of wonderful things And all those stories just happened Happened to be Mostly about science and Americans. Then I found on page 73 After the page where they advertised Some new trading cards Featuring Nobel Prize scientists. The article said we are not alone There's a copy of us in a galaxy far, far away, But not necessarily long ago. And I think that's really grand That there's many more copies of you 'Cause I know if we lived in a parallel universe, I'd love you there too. Then I turned to page 74 Where I learned something I didn't know before. The universe really has nine dimensions. There are three that we normally use And six more that we don't really care about And that's just the way that it is. And I think that's really swell That there's six more dimensions of you. That's three times as much I can love. No really, you do the math. And maybe someday I can wrap my six arms Around your nine sides And kiss your six lips And look into your six eyes. Love, have you heard of gravity? Newton was wrong, it doesn't really exist. We're all tied together with strings. There's filaments running through everyone here, Tying us all to the earth down below And connecting us all to the rocks And all living things. That feels really good That your head is tied to my heart And because of what I call space spaghetti, dear, We're never really apart. So you see what I'm sayin' Is the world explains All the reasons why you and I should remain Together as long as we stay in the same quantum state. But it doesn't matter If we're xeroxed around By a nine-sided universe with strings to the ground. The outcome for us would always be the same. We'd love each other forever Until we'd hit our anti-matter selves.
