There are two vocal parts in the verses. Each sings different lyrics, but they converge on the last word in each line, which is either the same or a perfect rhyme ("romance" and "romance," "glance" and "dance," and "dance" and "glance" in the first verse, "gold" and "gold," "old" and "bold," and "told" and "told" in the second). This structure is broken in the third verse, though, where these simultaneously sung words are "ours" and "hours," "hours" and "stars," and "stars" and "powers." This difference in the structure matches the theme of some of the lyrics in that verse: "Her calendar is not like ours" and "The hieroglyphs mark changing hours."
