Twenty Nanometers Apart (Song Version)

Twenty Nanometers Apart
By Holden Vanderveer

Verse 1:
I’m trying to be with you
No clue what to do
With this synaptic cleft
I have little left
I wish to be your heart
But I’m twenty nanometers apart

Corus:
Love is one, love is true,
Love is what I want for me and you.
Each of us is half of one heart,
Twenty nanometers apart.



Verse 2:
My branches reach for thee
Your dendrites back to me
And though we almost meet
It’s only almost sweet
I wish to be your heart
But I’m twenty nanometers apart


Verse 3:
Chemicals from me to you
Potentials are what we do
Neurotransmitters flow
Ion gates open and close
To stimulate your heart
From twenty nanometers apart

Corus:
Love is one, love is true,
Love is what I want for me and you.
Each of us is half of one heart,
Twenty nanometers apart.



Verse 4:
I’m getting hyper you see
Maybe it’s ADHD
I fire and fire
Never slow nor tire
Norepi low from the start
Firing twenty nanometers apart


Verse 5:
And I can clearly see
You’re can’t listening to me
Neurotransmitters in a jumble
I watch them turn and tumble
Not knowing where they start
Traveling twenty nanometers apart

Corus:
Love is one, love is true,
Love is what I want for me and you.
Each of us is half of one heart,
Twenty nanometers apart.



Finale Verse:
What’s this coming in
I think its Ritalin
Stimulating the synaptic cleft
Now I have nothing left
So can I be your heart
Though we’re twenty nanometers apart
