Lyrics
They say the world must end somehow
Expressing a belief that the world will come to an end at some point.
They say the end's not far from now
Suggesting that the end is imminent or approaching soon.
I think they're wrong
Disagreeing with the notion that the world is ending, implying a more optimistic perspective.
Don't worry your life away
Encouraging not to be overly concerned about the future.
Start living for today
Advising to focus on the present and live in the moment.
Don't think about tomorrow
Discouraging excessive worry about what might happen in the future.
And if the lights go out on all of us
Contemplating a scenario where all lights go out, possibly symbolizing a catastrophic event.
In just a year or two
Suggesting the possibility of this event occurring in a relatively short time frame.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain
Imagining a drastic event, such as the sky falling like pouring rain.
Then I'll be here with you
Expressing commitment to be with someone in times of crisis.
I'll go down with you
Committing to face difficulties and challenges together.
Well, I'm gonna try for all I'm worth
Expressing determination to make an earnest effort or pursue a goal.
To stay with you till the end of the earth
Promising to stay with someone until the end of the earth, indicating enduring commitment.
Don't let me down
Urging not to disappoint or betray.
Don't let your feelings win
Advising to resist being governed solely by emotions.
Don't give out and don't give in
Encouraging perseverance and not giving up in the face of challenges.
Don't think about tomorrow
Reiterating the importance of focusing on the present rather than worrying about the future.
