What This World Is Coming To

[Verse 1: Nate Ruess] Someone sucked the life out of the room When that someone said goodbye much too soon I’d hate for you to love me cause you saw me out with someone who you read about in the news But I guess that’s what this world is coming to [Verse 2: Beck & Nate Ruess] I watched as your wrists began to bruise Threading ribbons weaving patterns Beautiful and blue All your late nights came to life And then died upon just one dislike Never mind all the people that you moved But I guess that’s what this world is coming to [Chorus: Nate Ruess & Beck] So let’s get high here in the moonlight Even the stars go right over our head I think I’m gonna shine in the afterlife Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus: Nate Ruess & Beck] So let’s get high in the moonlight Even the stars go right over our head I know I’m gonna shine here in the afterlife Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead [Verse 3: Nate Ruess & Beck] You know that I can’t stop thinkin’ bout you You’re the source of everything I do You brought faith to songs I sing So I went and bought a diamond ring I wanna spend each night here with you Yeah you took everything I was And you turned it into something I’ve become Good god what’s a boy to do? [Outro] But I guess that's what this world Oh, I guess that's what this world Oh, I guess that's what this world is, is coming to Oh, I guess that's what my life is, is coming to
