The Last Song On Earth – Adam Melchor & Emily Warren

The Last Song On Earth
There was a time When all the doors closed Boarded up the storefronts Sent everyone home
No one was driving The air was all clean Just one of the reasons I was grateful to breathe
What were we doing What did we know Before we all noticed A hole in the boat
Sinking and swimming Thinking were living Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig
So don’t rock me back to sleep Cause I’m wide awake And I’m done with counting sheep I’ve had it that way It’s not my job but it might be my turn To get up and put in the work This won’t have to be The last song on earth
When there’s nothing to do All day to do it If you don’t use your kindness You’re likely to lose it
It’s only human To step outside the door With phone keys and wallet And a little unsure
What were we doing What did we know Before we all noticed A hole in the boat
Sinking and swimming Thinking were living Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig
So don’t rock me back to sleep ‘Cause I’m wide awake And I’m done with counting sheep I’ve had it that way It’s not my job but it might be my turn To get up and put in the work This don’t have to be The last song on earth
What were we doing What’s the excuse Can’t turn off the world Like we turn off the news
Took off the blinders Learned how to listen listen Remember this feeling and hope for forgiveness
So don’t rock me back to sleep ‘Cause I’m wide awake And I’m done with counting sheep I’ve had it that way It’s not my job but it might be my turn To get up and put in the work This don’t have to be the Last song on earth
