^EmDo you ever feel that this should be officially the end? ^EmAnd that you should be the one to do the ending but you can’t? ^EmAnd do you ever feel that everyone is slowly letting go ^EmDo you ever feel that…incredibly alone?

^EmAnd they’re saying not to panic ^EmAnd it’s like a broken record Not like anybody ^Cknow what that is And they’re saying that they’ll ^Emmanage ^EmIt's the hottest one on record And they’re saying that it’s just the way it ^Cis And now I can taste it ^Dcoming ^DI can taste it with my tongue And my children are so ^Cheavy But I pick them up and ^Emrun And I know I’ll have to ^Dswim soon ^DWhen the water gets too high I’ll keep on holding them above ^Cme ^CI'll keep on holding them and crying
