Don’t Look Down

I can hear it getting closer
Feel the darkness in the wind
Hear the roaring of the thunder
As the sky falls in
Come inside and lock the windows
We’ll be safer in here
I’ll do everything I can
To keep you safe my dear

But if this is the end, this is the end
If this is the end, this is the end
Let it begin

And hold me
Like there’s no need to be scared
Like we never needed our bodies
Like we have a life to spare
Hold me like we never needed this town
Like the worlds not falling around us
And don’t look down
Don’t look down

I’ve been waiting for this moment
Tried everything I had
Begged a god I don’t believe in
To let us start over again
Cos we made mistakes I know it’s true
We put ourselves above the rest
But if we knew that it would bring us here
We’d never have made this mess

But if this is the end, this is the end
If this is the end, this is the end
Let it begin

And hold me
Like there’s no need to be scared
Like we never needed our bodies
Like we have a life to spare
Hold me like we never needed this town
Like the worlds not falling around us
And don’t look down
Don’t look down
Don’t look down

So let it begin
Let it arrive
Let it wash us from the earth
Let it erase us from time
Let it begin
Let it arrive
Let it arrive

And hold me
Like there’s no need to be scared
Like we never needed our bodies
Like we have a life to spare
Hold me like we never needed this town
Like the worlds not falling around us
But don’t look down
