Breathe the air again
It's a beautiful day
I wish this moment would stay
With the earth
Some primal paradise
But there you go again
Saying everything ends
Saying you can't depend on anything
Or anyone
If the end of the world was near
Where would you choose to be?
If there was five more minutes
Of air
Would you panic and hide?
Or run for your life?
Or stand here and spend it with me?
If we had five more minutes
Would I, could I make you happy?
And we would live again
In the simplest of ways
Living day after day
Like some primal animals
We would love again
Under glorious suns
With the freedom that comes with the truth
If the end of the world was near
Where would you choose to be?
If there was five more minutes
Of air
Would you panic and hide?
Or run for your life?
Or stand here and spend it with me?
If we had five more minutes
Would I, could I make you happy?
So it finally came to pass
I saw the end of the world
Saw the madness unfold
Like some primal burial
And I looked back upon
Armageddon
And the moment of truth between you and me
Oh
If we had five more minutes
Of air to breathe
And we cried all through it
But you spend them with me
On our last few drags
Of air we agree
I was, and you were, happy
