You’re the Reason I Don’t Want the World to End

Lyrics

It's already June
 The light paints you pink
 When it breaks through the cherry trees
 You shout at the moon
 We lay on your swing
 I'm right where I'm meant to be
 Well, the gray moves aside
 For the first time in my life
 So I think that I
 Got the dosage right
 Devil in your blood
 The dull, unmoored ache
 The same one that haunted me
 But the bearings could rust
 And the circuit could break
 If I love you entirely
 'Cause I'm finding hope
 In the pocket of my winter coat
 With your gloves
 A reminder that I'm not alone
 ♪
 I'm scared to my bones
 That I won't find a way
 To keep you and your brother safe
 A fire eats the coast
 As the sea levels raise
 It's like we're circling the drain
 The news keeps getting worse
 The floods and this drought
 There's a mass shooting weekly now
 And it feels like you're cursed
 Like we're letting you down
 So, I'm gonna dig you out
 'Cause I'm finding hope
 In the pocket of my winter coat
 With your gloves
 A reminder that I'm not alone (that I'm not alone)
 And you're brave, so I'm brave
 Or I'm trying anyway
 Put the work in, plant a garden
 Try to stay afloat (try to stay afloat, try to stay afloat)
 I don't wanna die
 'Cause I gotta protect you
 You're the reason I can't leave here yet
 The reason I don't want the world to end
 I don't wanna die
 I wanna light you through your darker months
 And I wanna swallow the sun
 Before it can swallow us
 'Cause I'm finding hope
 In the pocket of my winter coat
 With your gloves
 A reminder that I'm not alone (that I'm not alone)
 And you're brave, so I'm brave
 Or I'm trying anyway
 Put the work in, plant a garden
 Try to stay afloat (try to stay afloat, try to stay afloat)
 I'm calling home
 Hear you laughing in the afterglow
 And the reasons
 To abandon all my former ghosts
 'Cause you're brave, so I'm brave
 Or I'm trying anyway
 Put the work in, plant a garden
 Try to stay afloat
