Текст песни
I spent my days in a waiting room
Thinking tomorrow would always bloom
Saved every word I meant to say
For some perfect, distant, golden day
Now the sky's a painting made of fire and ash
And every second feels like broken glass
The news says the missiles are already hurled
It's five minutes before the end of the world
Five minutes before the end of the world
What do you do, what do you do?
I can finally kiss the girl
Call my mother, forgive my brother
Take the photograph out of the drawer
Tell my best friend what the silence was for
Pet the dog one last time on the floor
Five minutes before the end of the world
Maybe four
Funny how the little things come rushing in
The taste of rain, the sound of violins
I never danced in a thunderstorm
I never kept my feet too long in the warm
I was building castles out of should-have-beens
Now I'm letting go of all the in-betweens
They say the sirens are the last sound heard
It's five minutes before the end of the world
Five minutes before the end of the world
What do you do, what do you do?
I can scream until my lungs unfurl
Break the vase, show my real face
Eat the cake I saved for thirty years
Laugh out loud through the falling tears
Drink directly from the chandeliers
Five minutes before the end of the world
Disappears
And I always thought I'd have more time
To climb the mountain I was too scared to climb
But the mountain came down to meet me here
And the countdown is the only thing clear
Five minutes before the end of the world
I can open my eyes!
I can apologize!
I can realise that life was never in the prize
It was in the drive!
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
I can love you like the first time
One
