In the event that I lose you
The world as we know it will end.
Flights will be grounded
Oceans will dry up
In the event we end up as friends.

In the event that you leave me.
Armies will strike: apocalypse now.
Jungles will burn.
Bodies will pile up.
In the event that you let me go.

Dust clouds will cease to coalesce into stars.
Black holes will swallow everything whole.
Space time will flatten like a burial shroud
It’ll be me for whom the bell tolls.

The earth will no longer spin in its orbit
The stars won't remain fixed in the sky.
All through the cosmos
Starlight will burn out.
In the event there’s no you and I.

In the event that I lose you.
The world as we know it will end.
Ice caps will melt
Coastlines will wash away.

In the event we end up as friends.

Mankind will go up in a mushroom cloud.
Cities will burn, oceans will boil.
We’ll hear the choir invisible singing loud
As the world shuffles off this mortal coil.

Come back to my arms.
Let’s begin again.
Call off the alarms.
Lovers can’t be friends.
