Josh Ritter - Stuck to You lyrics

Well there's one thing Mama
I think you should know
It is not love that makes the flowers grow
But a complex electron transfer
Process known as photosynthesis
When chlorophyll reacts with the light of day
Since you're gone, the light has gone away

Oh there's one more thing Mama
I think that you'll find
It is not love that makes the stars shine
But the spontaneous combustion
Of super heated
And super-condensed gasses in the process
Known as fusion that creates new elements
When the time is right since you're gone
Stars don't shine so bright

Oh there's another thing Mama
I think I should confide
It is not love that'll turn the tide
But the net difference in the gravitational
Pull between the Earth and
The Moon as it is acted out upon the waves
But since you're gone, I feel washed away
I could have been a mathematician
Studied rockets for a livin'
Would've worked out better in the end
But to get more specific I'd
Break every law of physics
To bring you back to me again

Well there's one more thing
I'll tell you if I can it is not love
That makes a non-stick frying pan
But a top-secret, trademarked, conglomerated
Most likely carcinogenic
Polyurethane compound spread in
A micro-thin substance, over
A negatively charged layer of
Aluminum, copper, iron
Lead, VHS, FYI, apple pie, FBI
And some other elements too
Since you're gone, I wish I'd stuck to you
