[Verse 1]
I'm lying on the top sheet
Of this itchy hospital bed
As the world spins on
Without me

[Pre-Chorus}
They're all saying that I'm gonna be fine
But there's a nervous twitch in their eye
Like the whole world's watching
As they read my final rights

[Chorus]
And this white death box
Hotel memorial
The word it costs
To fight the inevitable
As the world spins on
Outside that waiting room door

[Verse 2]
You're lying on the front lawn
Wishing you could see the stars
But the world is an oyster
Slowly closing
[Pre-Chorus}
You always talk about leaving the town
But you don't know anywhere else
And no one around you knows the way out

[Chorus]
Of this sand trap town
That you've been living in
Upside down
From my horizon line
And the world is an oyster
And you're the pearl inside

[Verse 3]
In the glow of the city lights
I see my demons running wild
Just shadows dancing on the walls
Like the world hasn't ended

[Pre-Chorus}
You all say that you'll never grow old
Now your laugh lines are starting to show
And no one around you knows the way out

[Chorus]
Of this dead beat bar
You think you belong in
But you're wrong
And everyone knows it
The world's always ending
It's what you make of it
[Outro]
The world's always ending (The world's always ending)
The world's always ending
The world's always ending (The world's always ending)
The world's always ending
