A Simple Love Song

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 was going to give it to you,

but before I could get there

it burst into flames.

I just want to 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 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 just want to write you a simple love song

but the world keeps falling apart.
