If The World Was Ending
Julia Michaels Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in traffic
I didn't feel it
When the earthquake happened
But it really got me thinkin'
Were you out drinkin'?
Were you in the living room
Chillin' watchin' television?
Think I've figured out how
How to let you go and let communication die out
I know, you know, we know
You weren't down for forever and it's fine
I know, you know, we know
We weren't meant for each other and it's fine
But if the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
And there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
Right?
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
Right?
I tried to imagine
Your reaction
It didn't scare me when the earthquake happened
But it really got me thinkin'
That night we went drinkin'
Stumbled in the house
And didn't make it past the kitchen
Ah, it's been a year now
Think I've figured out how
How to think about you without it rippin' my heart out
I know, you know, we know
You weren't down for forever and it's fine
I know, you know, we know
We weren't meant for each other and it's fine
But if the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling while I'd hold you tight
No, there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over, you'd come over, you'd come over, right?
I know, you know, we know
You weren't down for forever and it's fine
I know, you know, we know
We weren't meant for each other and it's fine
But if the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling while I hold you tight
No, there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over, you'd come over, you'd come over, right?
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
I was distracted
I wasn't paying attention
And in traffic
Stuck in a busy road
I didn't feel it
Didn't notice the earthquake
When the earthquake happened
During the occurrence of the earthquake
But it really got me thinkin'
Made me reflect deeply
Were you out drinkin'?
Were you drinking alcohol outside?
Were you in the living room
Chillin' watchin' television?
Were you relaxing in the living room, watching TV?
It's been a year now
It has been a year since then
Think I've figured out how
I believe I have discovered
How to let you go and let communication die out
How to move on from you and let our connection fade away
I know, you know, we know
We are all aware
You weren't down for forever and it's fine
You were not committed for the long-term, and that's okay
We weren't meant for each other and it's fine
We were not destined to be together, and that's okay
But if the world was ending
However, if the world was coming to an end
You'd come over, right?
Would you come to me?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
You would come to me and spend the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
Would you love me just for the sake of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
None of our fears would matter anymore
The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
If the world was ending, and chaos ensued, I would embrace you firmly
And there wouldn't be a reason why
And there wouldn't be a need for an explanation
We would even have to say goodbye
We wouldn't even have to bid farewell
You'd come over, right?
You would come to me, wouldn't you?
Right?
Isn't that the case?
I tried to imagine
I attempted to visualize
Your reaction
How you would respond
It didn't scare me when the earthquake happened
The earthquake did not frighten me at the time
That night we went drinkin'
The night we went out for drinks
Stumbled in the house
And didn't make it past the kitchen
Entered the house clumsily and didn't get far beyond the kitchen
Ah, it's been a year now
Ah, it's been a whole year now
Think I've figured out how
I believe I have discovered
How to think about you without it rippin' my heart out
How to think of you without it causing immense emotional pain
