The Antlers - The Universe Is Going to Catch You lyrics

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 going to wait
If you continue to tell us
If you continue to tell us

"The universe is going to catch you
The universe is going to catch you the u-"

It was fine until you fell off
Of the face of the Earth
Because we would call you at home and
No one picked up the phone
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 U-"

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
