The Golden Record lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could take down every inch of you in gold
Engrave it in the metal of my soul
And send it out to worlds beyond those known
To find a cosmic gramophone

[Verse 2]
No listener would ever understand
The lightning bolts between two grains of sand
Some people never witness shooting stars
Most never know a love like ours

[Pre-Chorus]
And I didn't know
My heart was closed

[Chorus]
Until you came to unlock it
Yeah, you found the perfect song
And I couldn't stop it
Not for anyone
So send it in a rocket
Yeah, to play after I'm gone
You're the plug that fits my socket
All the lights came on
[Verse 3]
If I could reach beyond the stars that we can see
To sing for them a song of you and me
No amount of any greatest hits
Could explain the way it fits

[Verse 4]
If I could bottle every beat my heart has missed
Or the trembling in my hands when we first kissed
How time and space and sense and circ*mstance
Were gone when we began to dance

[Pre-Chorus]
And I didn't know
My heart was closed

[Chorus]
Until you came to unlock it
Yeah, you found the perfect song
And I couldn't stop it
Not for anyone
So send it in a rocket
Yeah, to play after I'm gone
You're the plug that fits my socket
All the lights came on
[Outro]
You're the plug that fits my socket
All the lights came on
You're the plug that fits my socket
And all my lights came on
