From the recording A Little Life
This is a love conquers all and even if it doesn't, we have each other.
Lyrics
THE END OF THE WORLD
Everybody’s talking ‘bout a bad, bad feeling
That they just can’t shake
There’s barely time to recover ‘for another
Disaster takes its place
Go on take a good look
At the back of the good book
Can’t ignore the signs of these
Troubled times
We got earthquakes, hurricanes
It’s either drought or flood hard rains
Wildfires, throw in a tornado or two
But in your arms it’s safe and warm
Guess there’s nothin’ to do but wait out the storm
I’m happy to spend the end of the world with you
I’m happy to spend the end of the world with you
Half the country hates the other
Everybody only sees what they want to see
From guns to walls to babies
Nobody can agree to disagree
Science says the planet’s dying
Then there’s climate change denying
Can’t ignore the signs of these
Troubled times
Repeat Chorus
The river’s rising and the skies are growing dark
Hold me tonight like nothing can tear us apart
Not even
Earthquakes, hurricanes
We got war and we got a plague
Life’s a mess – let’s give the devil his due
But here and now our love is fine
We’ll survive or we’ll die trying
I’m happy to spend the end
Happy to spend the end
I’m happy to spend the end
Of the world with you
With you
