End of the World
Lenka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will be there with you
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
The things we used to do
Like living life, breathing air
Running your fingers through my hair
Oh, this isn't fair
At the end of the world
I will hold you so close
So we won't notice the destruction
Of all we used to know
We will close our eyes
As the waters rise
We'll float away and you will say
"Oh, isn't this nice?"
Ah, at the end of the world
We'll be together, be together
Ah, if I can spend it with you
Then the end of the world don't matter at all
At the end of the world
We will kiss for the last time
And we won't feel the earth collapse into
A mess of flood and fire
We'll be making love
As the sky above falls down over us
We'll be the luckiest ones
At the end of the world
I will be there with you
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
The things we used to do
At the end of the world
I will be there with you
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
The things we used to do

At the end of the world
When the world comes to an end
I will be there with you
I will be by your side even when the world ends
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
We will celebrate all the good times we had together
The things we used to do

It's unfair that our world has to come to an end
I will hold you so close
I will hold you tightly so we can be together till the end

We won't even realize the destruction around us
Of all we used to know
Everything we ever knew will be lost
We will close our eyes
We will shut our eyes and enjoy the last moments together
As the waters rise
As the water levels increase and cover us
We'll float away and you will say
We will float away and you will marvel at the sight

Nothing really matters as long as we are together

We will share one final kiss before the end
And we won't feel the earth collapse into
As we kiss, we won't feel the earth crumble underneath us
A mess of flood and fire
The world will be a mess of flood and fire
We'll be making love
We'll be sharing our last moments of love and passion
As the sky above falls down over us
The skies will fall upon us, but we won't part
We'll be the luckiest ones
We'll accept and cherish what we had as it was the best anyone could get
