"The Universe Expanded" lyrics

I'll give you each love letter back
We'll laugh before every joke is told
We'll pose after every photograph

Turn from a friend of your friend
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
Oh, 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

From a long friendship that grew from such a love
From such a love, from such a love
Such a love, from such a
