The Universe Is Going To Catch You

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
