It's your birthday but we never celebrate
Graduations or a gradual decay
We got married in the hall where our favorite bands would play
Opportunity denied, now we watch it fade away
It's the end of things, the end of everything
It's the end of things, the end of everything
We used to be so good together, how did everything fall down
We had window seats to heaven, and a fancy room downtown
On the mountain, slow erosion has begun
I can't see you, I can't be with you again
(Chorus)
When the sun sets, I can keep you warm at night
When the floods come, hope our house is watertight
Will the earthquakes shake our cottage to the ground?
Hear the silence, there'll be no one left around
(Chorus)
