From the moment you walked through the door, ready or not, no matter what
It was everything I'd waited for, and I've never forgot, no matter what
And suddenly the world had changed, the universe had rearranged
I couldn't help but be besot, no matter what, no matter what.

You fill my senses every time you're near, there's one with the lot, no matter what
But when I look away you disappear, and there's diddly squat, no matter what
You're a needle in a stack of hay, more vitality than DNA
More complex than a set of Mandelbrot, no matter what, no matter what.

And now the updates flash across the screen, you're stopping the rot, no matter what
A keyboard where your body should have been, but I'm hatching a plot, no matter what
I know your mission comes with its demands, an emissary to exotic lands
You make impressions that are hitting the spot, no matter what, no matter what.

No matter what happens, I'll carry with me
Whatever you turn out to be

So if you wander anywhere at all on this little blue dot, no matter what
I'll come running any time you call, there like a shot, no matter what
Time & distance drop away & then you'll be safely in my arms again
And I promise you with all that I've got, no matter what, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what.
