Well, I heard the newsman say the world was ending So I walked across town to where you stay And on my way, I picked a flower. I wanted to give it to you, But before I could get there It burst into flames. I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart So I took your hand in mine And we started running. Man' we ran so fast! Dodging ashes embers of your neighbor's houses. I stopped. I looked at you, you looked at me And we saw the reflection of the burning hillside In each other's eyes. And I asked you this: If you're dancing at the end of the world, Is the world really ending, Or is it just the beginning? I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart But the world keeps falling apart But the world keeps falling apart I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart But the world keeps falling apart I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart I wish I could write you a simple love song But the world keeps falling apart But the world keeps falling apart But the world keeps falling apart But the world keeps falling apart But the world keeps falling apart
