lyrics

I can never reclaim you
My dear work of art
We change through the years
And we're drifting apart
We are not so different
But time does its best to destroy the evidence

We need molecular clocks
To see how different we really are
Maybe we seemed like the same at the start
But we are destined to change
At a regular rate
If we're not growing together
We are growing apart

Your subtle mutations
Make it so very clear
In the small variations
And alternate alleles
But we are not so different
Time does its best to destroy the evidence

We need molecular clocks
To see how different we really are
Maybe we seemed like the same at the start
But we are destined to change
At a constant rate
If we're not growing together
We are growing apart

So far, so long
I thought we were connected directly, I suspect I was wrong
If you saw me would you say I'm the same,
Or am I just some strange creature?
If I saw you now, would I even have a way to reach you?

We need molecular clocks
To see how different we really are
Maybe we seemed like the same at the start
But we are destined to change
At a regular rate
If we're not growing together
If we're not growing together
We are growing apart
