[Verse 1]
And when the body finally starts to let go
Let it all go at once
Not piece by piece
But like a whole bucket of stars
Dumped into the universe (Woo)
Watch it go
Goodbye, small hands, goodbye, small heart
Goodbye, small head
My soul is climbing tree trunks and swinging from every branch
[Chorus]
They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I am fine)
They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I'm not fine)
[Verse 2]
Do you think I'm an animal?
Am I not?
Do you like fur? (I'm alright)
Do you wanna come over?
Are we captive only for a short time?
(I'm not right)
Is there splendor? I'm not ashamed (The way you move, no waves were ever)
Desire shoots through me like birds singing (Quite as fluid)
[Chorus]
They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I am fine)
They're calling on me
They're calling on me
They're calling on, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I'm not fine)
[Bridge]
I hit the mark
I target moon, I target sky, I target sun
Fall down on the world
Fall down on the world
Fall down on the world before it falls on you
[Refrain]
Like beggars, like dogs
Like whores, us all (I'm alright)
Like beggars, like dogs
Like stars, us all (I'm not right)
[Verse 3]
Shoot for that heart (And when you're near, no sky was ever quite as clear)
Shoot straight for that heart
[Refrain]
Like stars, so small
Like us when we fall (I am fine)
Like beggars, like whores
Like lovers
[Bridge]
Oh, get up
Too far
Oh, get up
Too far
[Refrain]
Like stars above
Look down so far (Well, I am scared)
Like stars above
Look down at us all (No, I'm not scared)
