The Universe Expanded Lyrics

I'll give you each love letter back

I'll meet you coming backwards
Yes I'll meet you coming back
When the universe has expanded
Time will contract
You'll come back
And I'll meet you coming backwards
Next time

We make-up, start an argument
Tears crawl back into your…

Unintroduced
Forget your name forevermore

But I don't mind losing you this time

I'll meet you coming backwards
Yes I'll meet you coming back
When the universe has expanded
Time will contract
You'll come back
And I'll meet you coming backwards
Yes I'll meet you coming back
But we move forwards
Into emptiness
Into the void
Into the universe

We'll part as happy strangers
From a long friendship
That grew from such a love

From such a love
Such a love

Kapranos told NME: "We recorded it in Sweden with Bjorn of Peter Bjorn and John, but it was too beautiful so then we took it back to Scotland to f--k it up a bit."
