Last Day on Earth Video (MV)

Pulled across the pavement as the walls came crumbling down
Making good on getting gone, this too-familiar town
Scratchmarks on the fences like the scars on your left hand
I never knew who owned the lake, but lord, I knew each grain of sand

We couldn't help pretend
The world was at its end

Last day on earth
Last day on earth
Last day on earth
Last day on earth

Talked all night in basements 'bout the bags we'd planned to pack
Made cabin fever catalogues and lists of things we lacked
We crossed our hearts and kept contending that we'd take off soon
But summers always saw us gridlocked in a dog day afternoon

Our only guiding light
Was fireworks at night

Last day on earth
Last day on earth
Last day on earth
Last day on earth

It's kind of strange to think about
The time when we both figured out
The things neither one ever had to say
If I met you or you met me
The rest is ancient history
It's how we got to where we are today

We'll head out west to Hollywood or maybe move to Mars
And stop in every copy of the same backwater bars
We'll eat gas station sandwiches and drink free-refilled Coke
I'll laugh sometimes while you drive like you told some kind of silent joke

And I could almost swear
A new planet's out there

Last day on earth
Last day on earth
Last day on earth
Last day on earth

First day on earth
First day on earth
First day on earth
First day on earth
