[Verse 1]
I've got the world crashing down
Down and around my feet
I've got the world crashing down
Down and around my feet
[Chorus]
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Down to my feet
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Like crashing down again, around my feet
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Like crashing down again, around my feet
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Like crashing down again, around my feet
Like crashing down again
[Verse 2]
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Before you take me home
There's just a few things I've wanted you to know
Well, take your first breath (It's been an hour)
And we've been walking for a million milеs tonight;
Don't fight the things I know you want to say to me
So, pleasе, don't make it harder than it has to be
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Don't make it harder than it has to be
[Chorus]
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Down to my feet
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Like crashing down again, around my feet
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Like crashing down again, around my feet
(Time is only temporary, this will not last forever)
Like crashing down again, around my feet
Like crashing down again
[Verse 3]
Before you take me home
Please, don't tell me what I don't want to know
Wipe your eyes dry, you'll see clearer
The end of this is coming close to us, don't rush
I've heard that line a million times from you, it's true
The midnight sky has a new shade of blue
The midnight sky has a new shade of blue
The midnight sky has a new shade of blue
[Bridge]
My heart is yours for the taking (My heart is yours)
My heart is yours for the taking (My heart is yours)
(For the taking!)
[Outro]
The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet
And the wish for your applause is taking over me
The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet
And the wish for your applause is taking over me
