Just Dandy - When the World Ends

When I left to build your perfect fountain
I never looked back as I walked towards my goal
Toward my home made of dirt and disappoint
To paint your memory and to live inside this tomb

I am standing
On an island
Slipping down an ice-caked sidewalk
Falling onward, down to vacant pasts
And laughing
I hope to see you when the world ends and you'll finally see me

Bless you darling
For me you're always leaving
Always fading
And I'm constantly alone
But that's okay
Someday I won't find you
But I'll learn to live
And love my regrets

I am living
For tomorrow
And shooting at zombies from the past
Desperately searching for someone to save
Finding no one
I hope to see you when the world ends and you'll finally see me

And falling fast and bleeding again
You've sprung a leak he's made just for you
You're living proof of every failure
At the edge of this this, he still just wants to be
That shining green and yellow ideal
But all he sees is red

I am standing
On an island
Built up from bullshit from the past
And if this is my curse
To just stay here
With no life raft
I hope to see you when the world ends and you finally see me

And the truth is, darlin', it's me who's always leaving
But I just can't see it, and so I'm left mercilessly alone
But that's okay
There is beauty in this darkness
And a light that shines through the most boring suburban homes

I am standing
In New York City
And what I see means so much more to me
Than any Vanilla Sky
Or the songs we sing

Although the streets are empty
I hope to see you when the world ends and you'll finally see me
I hope to see you when the world ends, yes we'll finally explode
I hope to see you when the world ends, we'll mean nothing at all
I hope to see you when the world ends and we find we don't exist
