The End Of The World Is Bigger Than Love Lyrics - I Know What Love Isn't - Jens Lekman

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
