The End of the World Is Bigger Than Love

There's got to be someone here tonight

Who can explain to me

How shadows can also shed a light

How they can outshadow (Outshadow)

What happened between us

And outline our shadows

In the burned ground beneath us

I need to be explained to

Over and over

How a broken heart

Is not the end of the world

'Cause 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 (Procession)

Content in the world's direction (Direction)

Tried to call you for an estimation (Estimation)

Of the distance to the star constellations (Constellations)

Or any explanation of

How a broken heart

Is not the end of the world

'Cause 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

Or the loose change in your pocket

Than the Flatbush Avenue Target

And their pharmacy department

And it's bigger than our problems

And our inability to solve them

From Coney Island to Harlem

To the end of the world and back again

How a broken heart

Is not the end of the world

'Cause the end of the world

Is bigger than love
