Story Behind The Song

This song compares human interaction to the shifting of the tectonic plates. The discussion of the tectonic plates is accurate enough to use in an earth science classroom.

Song Description

This songs describes relationships between people and compares them to the tectonic plates. Sometimes they come together building mountains and creating earthquakes, sometimes they pull apart causing tidal waves, and other times they leave each other alone allowing the other to transform independently.

Lyrics

Gravity drew you to me
But our own separate forces combine into seismicity
Through earthquakes, heartbreaks, we survive
We aren't meant for convergent lives

Call it what you want call it what you will
The earth is always moving nothing stands still
We are all bound for change
We're gonna shift along like tectonic plates

Nothing but friction from the start
But the differing poles in our hearts tore us apart
We shifted, drifted far and wide
Divergent with the tide

Call it what you want call it what you will
The earth is always moving nothing stands still
We are all bound for change
We're gonna shift along like tectonic plates

Through the changes we've opened our eyes
Exposing fault lines the cracks in our lives
We fought fire we weathered the store
And now we're free to transform

Call it what you want call it what you will
The earth is always moving nothing stands still
We are all bound for change
We're gonna shift along like tectonic plates
