In the Grand Scheme of Things

from The Space Whale of Bantam Lake by Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures

lyrics

In the grand scheme of things
You were gone in a blink of an eye
but in-between your long eyelashes
You were a reason why

And all the monstrosities
That are built up in our heads
Make way for curiosities
And a million separate threads

Pull on each one for a moment
And watch it quietly unravel
Rake the topsoil on the road
you’re least likely to travel

And summon up the courage
To stay right where you are
Just you and me and the stars

In the grand scheme of things
What you saw may not be explained
But in-between those quiet lost moments
You were what remained

And all the possibilities
Written about despite their lack of legs
Make way for our own ability
To consider a million separate threads

Pull on each one for a moment
And watch it quietly unravel
Rake the topsoil on the road
you’re least likely to travel

And summon up the courage
To stay right where you are
Just you and me and the stars
