| 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 |
