End of the World

Sitting in an old bar in a town that no one's heard of
Everybody's outside with glasses on staring at the sky
Waiting for the message to arrive
There's panic all around us, shouting
"Lord, give me a sign"
I'll pour a new whiskey and you sit there drinking your wine
Just like everything's fine

But this is it
The end of the world

The countdown's begun
The meteor just flew in front of the sun
And it's been confirmed, so turn off the news
I am so lucky to be here with you
No one I'd have preferred, and we're not concerned
It's just you and me at the end of the world

The bar is almost empty, people shot off in their cars
But the old man's in the corner and he's there still playing guitar
But he's playing "Auld Lang Syne"
We put a fifty in the jukebox and we play our favourite songs
And we just start jumping and dancing and singing along
We feel like nothing's wrong

But this is it
The end of the world
The countdown's begun
The meteor just flew in front of the sun
And it's been confirmed, so turn off the news
I am so lucky to be here with you
No one I'd have preferred, and we're not concerned
It's just you and me at the end of the world
Thirty more seconds, that's when they say we'll be colliding
I'm sure there's irony somewhere, but we cannot find it
Turn off the music, I've loved you so truly
Don't panic now, we're alright
Here it comes, darling, I love you, hold tight, close your...

Well, that was it
The end of the world, the countdown was done
The meteor crashed down on Earth with a thud
And it was confirmed so we turned off the news
I was so lucky to be there with you
No one I'd have preferred, and we weren't concerned
It was just you and me at the end of the world
