There's got to be someone here tonight
|
Who can explain to me
|
How shadows can also shed light
|
|
How they can outshadow
|
What happened between us and outline
|
The burnt ground beneath us
|
|
I need to be explained to
|
Over and over
|
|
How a broken heart is not the end of the world
|
Because the end of the world is bigger than love
|
|
I was in Washington D.C. for the election
|
And when they announced the results
|
I left the procession
|
Content in the world's direction
|
|
Tried to call you for an explanation
|
Of the distance to the star constellations
|
Or any explanation of
|
|
How a broken heart is not the end of the world
|
Because the end of the world is bigger than love
|
|
And it's bigger than an iceberg
|
Than the plume of a geyser
|
And it's bigger than the spider
|
Floating in your cider
|
And it's bigger than the stock market
|
Than the loose change in your pocket
|
And the Flatbush Avenue Target
|
And their pharmacy department
|
And it's bigger than our problems
|
And I our inability to solve them
|
From Coney Island to Harlem
|
To the end of the world and back again
|
|
A broken heart is not the end of the world
|
The end of the world is bigger than love
|

The End of the World Is Bigger Than Love
