[Verse 1]
It's a beautiful day and the sun is shinin' bright
The birds are singin' out 'cause they're happy they're alive
A couple walking in the park are glowin' and in love
But none of this will matter when the asteroid comes
[Verse 2]
Can't wake up in the morning, at night can't sleep
I'm hungry but nothin' sounds good to eat
My head keeps on replayin' things I should've said and done
But none of this will matter when the asteroid comes
[Chorus]
I did my best to be the best that I could be
But all I ended up with was me
And what I did, I did, and what I've done is done
But it'll all be over when the asteroid comes
It'll all be over when the asteroid comes
[Verse 3]
I built a boat and tried to sail upstream
I laid a flower on the headstone of my dreams
The empires that we've built and all the damage that we've done
None of this will matter when the asteroid comes
[Chorus]
I did my best to be the best that I could be
But all I ended up with was me
And what I did, I did, and what I've done is done
But it'll all be over when the asteroid comes
It'll all be over when the asteroid comes
[Chorus]
I did my best to be the best that I could be
But all I ended up with was me
And what I did, I did, and what I've done is done
But it'll all be over when the asteroid comes
It'll all be over when the asteroid comes
