[Intro: Dylan Owen]
When we meet again we will not be strangers
Just old souls trying to find ourselves in the dust
So when we meet again we will not be strangers
In the garden of the angels of above
I will take you home to me
When we meet again we will not be strangers
Past divided lives of our state lines that got forsaken
Never thought we’d fall asleep without retainers
In the mountains it was raining now we’re nowhere in our love
I wanna lower the above, tear heaven down, and put it in your backyard
Build the two of us a family, safe from all the bad parts
Try to forget there were dates when we ended affection
Put an O after that X and say I neglected to mention:

[Verse 1: Dylan Owen]
You were on my mind of all this time, packed my bags for education
And lost you somewhere in your Next to Normal explanation
Wrote the Book Report, using your paper and pencil
Never thought I’d see New York as far away until I met you
Now I’m overcome by Ralph perfume, airplanes and routes confused
With why we can’t proceed with seeing how this garden’s flowers bloom
It took me eight weeks just to not doubt the news--
I suppose that we just see things from a different altitude
And in the garden of the gods, if that peony dies
Then I hope that we can push up daisies side by side
Because I know that things are better when you’re by my side
Yeah I know everything is better when you’re by my side
And like the Columbines, this is where the Wild Things grow wild
You don’t have the guts to let them grow inside ya
One day when I’m a rock star, and you’re a Rockette
I hope that shiny crown around your neck will not have dropped yet

[Hook: Dylan Owen]
So
When we meet again we will not be strangers
Just old souls trying to find ourselves in the dust
So when we meet again we will not be strangers
In the garden of the angels of above
I will take you home to me
When we meet again we will not be strangers
Just old souls trying to find ourselves if in love
Then when we meet again we will not be strangers
In the garden of the angels of above
I will take you home to me

[Verse 2: Dylan Owen]
I’m madly in love with you—but six words is not enough
To illustrate the dawn’s beauty when the lawn lit up
Crawl into your fort, shred every map that keeps us separated
Starting with the one from history class from that tape
I carry with me cancer’s connotation, so I’d never say that word
And I know extra vowels on the end of his name won’t make the burn subside
But if you try to abide to what makes it hurt
And just embrace it, then we’ll conquer this
C’mon, we’ll make it work
In the garden of the gods, if that peony dies
Then I hope that we can push up daisies side by side
When you unplugged the technology that rules our lives
You therefore chose to cut off the electricity that fuels our fire
And I know everything is better when you’re by my side
I’m happy king of our once fake empire
I will take you home, I am your designated driver
Singing, “You and I” when six separated states divide us
Hold our breath and close our eyes

This song is dedicated to anyone who's ever had the privilege of having their heart broken

When we meet again we will not be strangers anymore

[Hook: Dylan Owen]
When we meet again we will not be strangers
Just old souls trying to find ourselves in the dust
So when we meet again we will not be strangers
In the garden of the angels of above
I will take you home to me
When we meet again we will not be strangers
Just old souls trying to find ourselves if in love
Then when we meet again we will not be strangers
In the garden of the angels of above
I will take you home to me
