Even when the sky is falling down Even when the Earth is crumbling around my feet Even when we try say goodbye You can cut the tension with a knife in here 'Cause I know what will happen If we get through this And if the earth ends up crumbling down to its knees then baby We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out And if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around baby We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out 'Cause I feel so damn lost And it comes with a cost of being alone Everything is falling down, we're suffering Helpless thoughts, and out we sing Prayers go to the sky And if the Earth ends up crumbling down to its knees then baby We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out And if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around baby We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out And if we fall, it's not your fault Shadows covering, our selfish foes And as our love can go out on a high note Even when the sky is falling down Even when the Earth is crumbling around my feet Around my feet And if the Earth ends up crumbling down to its knees then baby We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out And if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around baby We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out We just gotta get out We just gotta get out We just gotta get out We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out
