[Verse 1]

Because the shape, because the colour

Because the words you say don't come out right

You give and you take, you take what you're given

They're talking about the children you won't have

[Pre-Chorus]

They can't see

What I see

Oh, Michael

You are here

[Chorus]

They called you, Michael

They called you, Michael

They called you, Michael

You are here

[Verse 2]

A fracturing splendour

A beautiful boy, the more lines on your face

Well, it's a jerk's parade

Confetti to country

The country, the clever country

[Pre-Chorus]

They can't see

What I can see

The wanting over now

The reddening

[Chorus]

They called you, Michael

They called you, Michael

They called you, Michael

You are here

[Bridge]

And it all falls down when you don't want it to

Oh, it all falls down when you don't want it to

Oh, it all comes out if you want it to

Oh, it all falls down

Michael, you are here

[Outro]

Oh, it all falls down

Oh, it all falls down

It's safer, it's safer here

It's safer, it's safer, you are

You are
