[Spoken]
Like when following an image from a train
Your eyes can't keep the passing landscapes
From being swallowed into endless distance
Like when holding a fistful of ashes
Your hands can't save the things that have already been dissolved into air
Like when facing the sun through a window
Your skin feels warmth
But it can't be in the world that its warmth has made alive
Like walking alone through a lucid dream
Like saying your name aloud in an empty room
Like witnessing my body standing in a mirror
Aching to be seen, aching to become real
But the beauty one finds alone
Is a prayer that longs to be shared

[Verse 1]
Tell me something beautiful, yeah, tonight
Until your lips turn blue
Said I don't wanna talk about it for too long
Baby, now I think I do
Ah, water to red wine, kissing to kill time
Oh my, yeah
Ah, watching the doves cry into the sunrise

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, flash, bang, spark
Send home the guards and lay down your arms
And da-da-da-da-da-da
The great golden bomb, bomb, bomb

[Chorus]
Boy, I'm losing my breath, yes
Boy, you're marking up my necklace
Boy, I'm losing my breath
I'm undressing, I'm confessing that I'm so obsessed, yes

[Verse 2]
Tell me something beautiful, yeah, about this world
When I'm in your palm, I'm like a pearl
Tell me something I can hold on to, you're who I belong to
I drown in devotion (Devotion), as deep as the ocean (The ocean)
So don't let me go, no, no, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Flash, bang, spark
Lighting up the dark
Bomb, bomb

[Chorus]
Boy, I'm losing my breath, yes
Boy, it's popping out my chest, yes
Boy, I'm losing my breath
I'm undressing, I'm confessing that I'm so obsessed, yes

[Outro]
Eat my heart, break my soul
Take my parts, let me go
Eat my heart, break my soul (La-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
Take my parts, let me go (Da-da-da-da, da-da, ah)
Eat my heart, break my soul (La-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
Take my parts (Da-da-da-da)

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
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 thinkin' 'bout the future like it's already yours
Show me how you'd hold me if tomorrow wasn't comin' for sure

[Chorus]
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
Let's spend the dollars you've been savin' on a Mercedes-Benz (Ah)
And throw a party like McCartney with some help from our 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 comin' for sure

[Chorus]
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) The sky is fallin', fallin' like a comet now, oh, oh
I can see it comin' down
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) The sky is fallin', fallin' like a comet now, oh, oh

[Bridge]
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 comin' for sure

[Breakdown]
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 fallin')
It's not the end (Like the end of the world)
Let's pretend
It's not the end, end, end

[Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) The sky is fallin', fallin' like a comet now, oh, oh
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) The sky is fallin', fallin' like a comet now, oh, oh
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
The sky is fallin', fallin' like a comet now, oh, oh
I can see it comin' down

[Verse 1]
The more I stay, the less I go
We're toe to toe, but I'm hanging on the wire
Stumbled down the same road before
Say I'm leavin', but I'm only playing liar
'Cause when you're lookin' like

[Pre-Chorus]
A movie star in a worn-out coat
Yeah, throw away my mind
And it happens all the time

[Chorus]
I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it's comin' 'round again
And you say it
But I wish it wasn't true, oh
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I just thought we had more to lose

[Post-Chorus]
Uh-uh
Mm-mm

[Verse 2]
The TV's on, but I don't know
My tears are streamin' like our favorite show tonight
Tonight
Memories fade like denim jeans
I try to chase when you're runnin' through my mind
'Cause, God, you're lookin' like

[Pre-Chorus]
You're lookin' like a movie star in a worn-out coat
So I throw away my mind
And it happens all the time, uh

[Chorus]
Oh, I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it's comin' 'round again
And you say it
But I wish it wasn't true, oh
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I just thought we had more to lose

[Bridge]
Na, na-na, na-na
Na, na-na, na-na, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you're lookin' like a movie star in a worn-out coat
So I throw away my pride
It happens all the time
God, it happens all the time

[Chorus]
Oh, I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it's comin' 'round again, but it don't, baby
And you say it
But I wish it wasn't true, no
I knew someday that one would have to choose
Oh, I knew someday you'd do what I couldn't do
I just thought we had more to lose

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm

[Verse 1]
(Ooh-woo) You're my baby, you're the only one
You drive me crazy, oh, but I still miss you when you're gone
Every second, every hour
(Ooh-woo) It's in your nature, to light me up
I love to hate ya, uh, but I can't stand it when you're gone
So I call you once every hour

[Chorus]
You got the love I always needed
Tie me to horses and I still wouldn't leave ya
But you're not an easy lover

[Verse 2]
You're a wildfire, mmh, and I'm in your path (Ooh-woo)
I've decided I wanna keep on dancin' in the ashes
And so I call out, "Let it burn" (Ooh-woo)

[Chorus]
You got the love I always needed
Tie me to horses and I still wouldn't leave ya
But you're not an easy lover (Ooh-woo)

[Post-Chorus]
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up (Ooh-woo)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
Easy lover, hey

[Chorus]
You got the love I always needed (Ah)
Tie me to horses, I still wouldn't leave you (Tell 'em, B)
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy, ah)
You make it hard to touch another (You make it hard)
Anything goes when we're under cover (Covers)
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
(Easy lover, ooh-woo)

[Post-Chorus]
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up (Can't give you up, ooh-woo)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up (Ooh-woo)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
(Ooh-woo)

[Intro]
I'll tell everyone you're the only one I want
Can I have you if I never let you down
You're the only one under the golden burning sun
Can I have you if I never let you down

[Verse 1]
I had a dream and saw a vision
We built a house that we could live in

[Pre-Chorus]
I know we're young but we're growin' up
We'd go swimming in the water
Then have dinner with your father
I close my eyes and I see it now

[Chorus]
You're the only one under the golden burning sun
Can I have you if I never let you down
Surrender, surrender, surrender
And I'll never let you down
Surrender

[Verse 2]
Angels are real, I see them coming
But they won't ever catch up if we're running

[Pre-Chorus]
I know we're young but it doesn't last
So let's lay under the fountain
And get higher than these mountains
Close your eyes, can't you see it now

[Chorus]
You're the only one under the golden burning sun
Can I have you if I never let you down
Surrender, surrender, surrender
And I'll never let you down
Surrender

[Bridge]
There were fireflies and summer air
Bare skin and knotted hair
Burning sun up in the sky
I didn't notice (So lost when I'm in this moment)
I'm just so lost in this moment

[Chorus]
You're the only one under the golden burning sun
Can I have you if I never let you down
Surrender (I know you want to), surrender, surrender (I know you want to)
And I'll never let you down
Surrender

[Outro]
Surrender, surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender

[Verse 1]
In my dreams, I see your face
It hits me like a thousand trains
I don't wanna wake up if you're gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you still love me? I gotta know
Never mind, just keep it quiet if you don't
Oh, do you still love me? I gotta know
I gotta know

[Chorus]
Hold me in your arms
Pretend that you're God
Recreate the stars for me, one by one
I'll give you what you want
Pretend that you're God all night long

[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
Oh, because in my dreams, I see your face (See your face)
It hits me like a thousand trains
I don't wanna wake up if you're gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you still love me? I gotta know
Never mind, just keep it quiet if you don't
Oh, do you still love me? I gotta know
I gotta know

[Chorus]
Hold me in your arms
Pretend that you're God
Recreate the stars for me one by one
I'll give you what you want
Pretend that you're God all night long
Oh, if you're gone

[Post-Chorus]
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Ah (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)

[Outro]
I'm haunted, I'm haunted
He's missing, he's missing
I'm haunted, I'm haunted
He's missing, deep within my chest
I'm haunted
You're lost in my soul like God
I'm haunted (He's missing)
You're lost in my soul like God
