The Universe Is Going to Catch You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 going to wait If you continue to tell us, if you continue to tell us [Chorus] "The universe is going to catch you The universe is going to catch you The u-" [Verse 2] It was fine until you fell off of the face of the Earth Because we would call you at home and no one picked up the phone 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 [Chorus] "THE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO CATCH YOU THE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO CATCH YOU THE U-" [Outro] 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
