Lyrics:

This is the eighth song from Jens Lekman’s third album, I Know What Love Isn’t. The song explores many of the themes found elsewhere on the album, including heartbreak, love, and moving on.
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
