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 no one 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
