Apocalyptic Love Song

They say the poles are shifting

I don’t mean the ones on CNN

I mean north and south are flipping

Maybe I’m alarmist but it sure feels like the end

If we’re plunged in darkness

What’ll I do

I don’t own a shotgun

I’ve stockpiled no food

I can’t hunt or navigate

I’m hopeless with maps

I’m wholly unprepared

For societal collapse

But I will find you where you are

Hitch a ride or steal a car

I will bike or jog or jump or break myself in two

When the streets run red with blood

Or turn to rivers due to flood

There is no dystopia that I wouldn’t walk on through

Cause if the world is ending

I’d prefer to be with you

I would prefer to be with you

I make my home in California

Every other month the state’s on fire

If I said it didn’t concern me

You’d have every right to laugh and call me a liar

I don’t know if there is

A better place than this

If there could be a feeling

More soothing than your kiss

And if the wild fires spread

And the ocean waters rise

I’ll be fine as long as my

Last look is in your eyes

I will find you where you are

Hitch a ride or steal a car

I will fight the zombies and the vigilantes too

When everyone has lost their grips

In the post-apocalypse

I will keep my mind clear and my values ever true

Cause if the world is ending

I’d prefer to be with you

I would prefer to be

I will find you where you roam

And we will build some better home

A treehouse by the water and a trusty old canoe

We won’t need electricity

At the tail-end of history

We’ll whittle our own soap and bathe with natural shampoo

Cause if the world is ending

I’d prefer to be with you

I would prefer to be with you
