I was just a silver bird, cutting through the blue,
Carrying strangers with their coffee and their news.
Then I saw you standing tall, steel and glass so fine,
Two hearts of Manhattan, but you were the one on my mind.
I couldn’t look away, my engines skipped a beat,
I knew right then and there — our story was complete.
They say it was an accident, a tragic twist of fate,
But darling, I was aiming — I just couldn’t wait.
Oh baby, ever since I kissed you at three thousand miles an hour,
We’ve been locked together in our fiery little bower.
You held me so tight when the fuel became our wine,
Now we’re inseparable, your spine wrapped around mine.
Through smoke and screams we danced, we burned as one so true,
No one else could ever love me half as much as you.
They tried to pull us apart with hoses and with cranes,
But every piece they carried only fueled our flames.
I melted in your embrace, became part of your frame,
Now every bolt and girder whispers out my name.
The world keeps saying “tragedy,” they cry and shake their heads,
But they don’t understand — we finally got to bed.
They rebuilt another you, all shiny, bright, and new,
But honey, it’s not the same — I only want the you I knew.
Oh baby, ever since I crashed right through your open door,
We’ve been fused forever on that September morning floor.
Your rubble is my pillow, your ashes are my sky,
No distance now between us, no need to say goodbye.
We fell in love at terminal velocity, it’s true,
And darling, I’d do it all again — just to be with you.
Sometimes at night I hear the sirens, soft and low,
Memorial bells are ringing, but they’ll never know:
That every time the wind blows through your empty space,
It’s me still whispering — “I’m home in your embrace.”
Oh sweetheart, ever since that bright and awful day,
We’ve been together always, in our own twisted way.
No vow was ever stronger, no ring could ever bind,
Than the moment I surrendered everything I was… into your mind.
So here’s to us, my twin flame, my one and only scar —
Two buildings, one plane, forever where we are.
Forever in your arms…
Forever in your arms…
Till the steel forgets to rust…
Till the cameras all go dark…
I love you.
I really, really… love you.
