lyrics

Miller sings:
Back in the day, when I was just 17,
A little lady started at my university.
Sweet as can be, she came from overseas,
She was the sharpest mind to ever grace Astronomy.

Just like me, she had the genius gene.
Ambition fit for an Olympian
and full of dreams.
All I could see was all that we could be,
We’re future lovers lighting up each other's destiny.

Play it real cool, don’t let Violet see.
Don’t wanna show her, I’m head over heels.
I'll wait for perfect opportunities.

I'm never giving up on your love, sooner or later, gonna be.
Never giving up on your love.

I pulled up a seat beside her at the bench,
In just a week, I got her name, this babe was Violet.
I reckon I’m in on group experiments,
We worked together on a study of the Kuiper Belt.

“Someday”, I said, the weeks that came and went.
I couldn’t find the time to tell her how I really felt.
Then she drops the bomb - a boy I’ve never met,
Miller meet Jonah, he’s my sweetheart from Connecticut.

I’m such a pal, I’m her bestest friend.
Welcome to the place where romances end.
I'm never giving up on your love, sooner or later, gonna be.

Miller is alone, studying the new teleport tech.

Miller speaks wearily to CAM:

Miller:
“I give up. A fat load of nothing, that’s my expert report.”

Violet reenters.

Violet:
“Anything?”

Miller:
“Not a single thing wrong in the data or the machine. Gotta say - you’ve done amazingly nice work up here. Embarrassingly brilliant.”

Violet:
(Surprised by his sincerity) “Thank you Miller.”

Miller:
“Do you have the data from our first Gate experiment? Jonah disappearing? This system could run a new analysis. Might shed light on… something.”

Violet:
“Yeah, I did that but… lemme show you. CAM? Display Gate 1 error output on screen please.”

A huge, daunting wall of numbers appears on a large screen.

Miller:
“What’s this shite?”

CAM:
“This is a numerical error report from the accident at Gate 1 using the latest analytical tools.”

Miller:
“What are the parameters? It’s just a big bunch of numbers. How do we make sense of this?”

CAM:
“Parameters unknown.”

Violet:
“See? 2048 random numbers with no explanation.”

Miller:
“Parameters unknown, huh? Not for long.”
