It's been a long time coming It's not up for debate You've been a hollowed-out apple Though you're standing up straight It's later than you think And we're not gonna wait If you continue to tell us if you continue to tell us "The universe is going to catch you"
Well it was fine until you fell off Of the face of the Earth 'Cause we would call you at home And noone picked up the phone But we were worried that you'd fallen In the river, or worse But then you sent us back a letter it said in capital letters "THE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO CATCH YOU"
Come back inside To this house To your home Made of steel-structured styrofoam Nobody's out there But someone is singing you back to your birthplace That voice is the same voice You heard on the same night that Everything glowed Took you into the air And the arms of the Universe Kept you from falling But after that happened Those arms did not come back So when you leapt up And nobody caught you Your neck broke
