  • Someone sucked the life out of the room
    When that someone said goodbye much too soon
    I'd hate for you to love me cause you saw me out
    with someone who you read about in the news
    But I guess that's what this world is coming to

    I watched as your wrists began to bruise
    Threading ribbons weaving patterns
    Beautiful and blue
    All your late nights came to life
    And then died upon just one dislike
    Never mind all the people that you moved
    But I guess that's what this world is coming to

    So let's get high here in the moonlight
    Even the stars go right over our head
    I think I'm gonna shine in the afterlife
    Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead

    So let's get high in the moonlight
    Even the stars go right over our head
    I know I'm gonna shine here in the afterlife
    Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead

    You know that I can't stop thinkin' bout you
    You're the source of everything I do
    You brought faith to songs I sing
    So I went and bought a diamond ring
    I wanna spend each night here with you
    Yeah you took everything I was
    And you turned it into something I've become
    Good god what's a boy to do?

    But I guess that's what this world
    Oh, I guess that's what this world
    Oh, I guess that's what this world is, is coming to
    Oh, I guess that's what my life is, is coming to Writer/s: BECK HANSEN, EMILE HAYNIE, JEFF BHASKER, NATE RUESS
