End of the World
歌詞:
[English]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Today you woke up and you told me that you wanted to cry
...
The sky was fallin' like a comet on the Fourth of July
...
Baby, you've been thinking 'bout the future like it's already yours
...
Show me how you'd hold me if tomorrow wasn't coming for sure
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's spend the dollars you've been saving on a Mercedes-Benz
...
And throw a party like McCartney with some help of my friends
Yeah, let's go down to Malibu and watch the sun fade out once more
...
Show me how you'd hold me if tomorrow was coming for sure
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (the sky is falling, falling like a comet now)
(I can see it coming down)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (the sky is falling, falling like a comet now)
...
Ooh, let's go to Paris, I don't care if we get lost in the scene
Paint the city like Picasso would've done in his dreams
Do the things that we were way too terrified of before
Oh, I wanna take you to nirvana, we can't take it too far
Hit the bottom of the bottle and forget who we are
Hold me close, you know tomorrow isn't coming for sure
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
...
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
...
(Let's pretend it's not the end of the world)
Let's pretend, it's not the end
(Let's pretend it's not the end of the world)
Let's pretend (the sky is falling)
It's not the end (the end of the world)
Let's pretend, it's not the end, end, end
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (the sky is falling, falling like a comet now)
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (the sky is falling, falling like a comet now)
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world (the sky is falling, falling like a comet now)
I can see it coming down
...
