That's How the World Ends
They talk about fires burning
Tornadoes turning
Lightning striking branches
To the ground
They talk about earthquakes shaking
Windows breaking
But nobody ever talks about
Nobody ever talks about
Two red taillights
Tears in her eyes, goodbye
Rolling off of a quivering lip
Knowing you ain't never gonna see her again
Tossing, turning, hurting all night, waking up
Reaching over to touch her skin
In a bed that she ain't in
That's how the world ends
That's how the world ends
So if you wonder why I'm smoking, drinking
It's 'cause I'm thinking all about
How nobody warned me that I'd be
Hitting my knees, looking up, begging please
For god to tell this angel come on back to me
And save me from that Armageddon moment
Those two red taillights
Tears in her eyes, goodbye
Rolling off of a quivering lip
Knowing you ain't never gonna see her again
Tossing, turning, hurting all night, waking up
Reaching over to touch her skin
In a bed that she ain't in
Yeah that's how the world ends
Two red taillights
Tears in her eyes, goodbye
Rolling off of a quivering lip
Knowing you ain't never gonna see her again
She's gone, she don't even
Know that I've gone crazy
Tossing, turning, hurting all night, waking up
Reaching over to touch her skin
In a bed that she ain't in
I'm reaching over to touch her skin
In a bed that she ain't in
That's how the world ends
That's how the world ends
No it ain't fires burning
Tornadoes turning
It's knowing she ain't never coming back
