[Verse 1]
What, does it sound like a thousand bombs going off in your ears?
And what does it feel like, when you just know that the end is near?

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes we want the answers
Oh sometimes we wonder why
But that night there won't be questions asked from the past to the future

[Chorus]
When the world ends
Who will have your last dance?
Where would be your best friends?
When the world ends
Some one call the mayor and tell him that we're not scared
We tear up the town singing
Come on come on spend it like it's your last one
Come on come on let's pretend it's our last one

[Verse 2]
Now we're looking towards the sky
We're standing side by side
This feeling's coming over me
But I, I start to recognize the only thing I need is you standing close to me yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes we want the answers
Oh sometimes we wonder why
But that night there won't be questions asked from the past to the future
[Chorus]
When the world ends
Who will have your last dance?
Where would be your best friends?
When the world ends
Some one call the mayor and tell him that we're not scared
We'll tear up the town singing
Come on come on spend it like it's your last one
Come on come on let's pretend it's your last one

[Bridge]
What do we have to lose?
You can run you can hide if you want to
What do we have to lose?
You can run you can hide if you want to
What do we have to lose?
You can run you can hide if you want to
What do we have to lose?
You can run you can hide if you want to

[Chorus]
When the world ends
Who will have your last dance?
Where would be your best friends?
When the world ends
Some one call the mayor and tell him that we're not scared
We tear up the town singing
Come on come on spend it like it's your last one
Come on come on let's pretend it's your last one
