[Intro]
It might be the end of the world but like, it's fine
[Verse 1]
I got a call from Martha
Everything has changed now
I tell her time will heal it
But time has made it worse somehow
It's really got me thinking
That I was better in Berlin

[Chorus]
Break up, breakdown

Where do I start?
[Chorus]
Break up, breakdown
I'm not where thought I'd be now
Can't swim, can't drown
I'm not where I thought I'd be now
I'm not where I thought I'd be now
[Bridge]
Everything is changing
Everything is changing
Everything s changing
Everything is changing
[Outro]
So, y'know, I really hope that you're also
Looking after that head, trying not to panic
It might be the end of the world but like, it's fine
And, also, love you
And, if you're with Joe right now, I love him too
And yeah, don't panic
You can, you can tell in my voice, I'm panicking

I wrote the song just after I returned from Berlin and was taking stock of just how much had changed in my life throughout my early 20s. Here I was, having just had this really formative experience, disillusioned and directionless again. Not only that, but I was no longer the version of myself that...
