As I sit looking at the stars Marveling at how we got this far Thinking how It's just another day Before the black hole gets us all All we've built is swallowed whole It's like we never Saw this place And all the things we never did They're still standing up ahead But the world is empty The slate is clean It makes no odds That you've joined the dots 'Cause our world is empty The slate is blank Yet again, I'm looking at the sky But this time I'm wondering why It's dark and cold Why do I feel so old? I think it's that I'm where I'd go All those 51 years ago To write you letters On how it could be better And all the things we never did They're still standing up ahead But the world is empty Our slate is clean It makes no odds That you've joined the dots 'Cause our world is empty Our slate is blank The slate, the slate, the slate is blank And now I know we can't go back Our slate, our slate, our slate is blank And now I know we can't go back The slate, the slate, the slate is blank And now I know we can't go back Our slate, our slate, our slate is blank And now I know we can't go back (The lights are out and I'm so scared) (Of what I'll do when you're not there) (The lights are out and I'm so scared) (Of what I'll do when you're not there)
