Andy Camann - Significance



Andy Camann - Significance
He turns, there's something wrong, he
Forgot to lock the door.
That's all, it took him twenty
Seconds, nothing more.
All day he's fifty feet behind where he'd be otherwise
But now he'll cross her path and she'll finally catch his eyes.

It's simultaneously the least significant
And most significant occurrence
In the history of the universe.

Black ice, she crosses over
Double yellow lines.
Her life, in bits and pieces
Rushes through her mind,
Like some guy she knew in college seven years ago.
She braces for an impact that he will never know.

It's simultaneously the least significant
And most significant occurrence
In the history of the universe.

New calm, washes over,
Laying back his head.
New dawn, rises over
A land of doubt and dread.
As he realizes that every moment, every day
Every last decision that he has ever made

Is simultaneously the least significant
And most significant occurrence
In the history of the universe.
