You’re the Reason I Don’t Want the World to End

It's already June The light paints you pink When it breaks through the cherry trees You shout at the moon We lay on your swing I'm right where I'm meant to be Well, the gray moves aside For the first time in my life So I think that I Got the dosage right Devil in your blood The dull, unmoored ache The same one that haunted me But the bearings could rust And the circuit could break If I love you entirely 'Cause I'm finding hope In the pocket of my winter coat With your gloves A reminder that I'm not alone I'm scared to my bones That I won't find a way To keep you and your brother safe A fire eats the coast As the sea levels raise It's like we're circling the drain The news keeps getting worse The floods and this drought There's a mass shooting weekly now And it feels like you're cursed Like we're letting you down So, I'm gonna dig you out 'Cause I'm finding hope In the pocket of my winter coat With your gloves A reminder that I'm not alone (that I'm not alone) And you're brave, so I'm brave Or I'm trying anyway Put the work in, plant a garden Try to stay afloat (try to stay afloat, try to stay afloat) I don't wanna die 'Cause I gotta protect you You're the reason I can't leave here yet The reason I don't want the world to end I don't wanna die I wanna light you through your darker months And I wanna swallow the sun Before it can swallow us 'Cause I'm finding hope In the pocket of my winter coat With your gloves A reminder that I'm not alone (that I'm not alone) And you're brave, so I'm brave Or I'm trying anyway Put the work in, plant a garden Try to stay afloat (try to stay afloat, try to stay afloat) I'm calling home Hear you laughing in the afterglow And the reasons To abandon all my former ghosts 'Cause you're brave, so I'm brave Or I'm trying anyway Put the work in, plant a garden Try to stay afloat
