Apocalyptic Love Song Songtext
von Josh Radnor

They say the poles are shifting
I don′t mean the ones on CNN
I mean north and south are flipping
Maybe I'm alarmist but it sure feels like the end

If we′re plunged in darkness
What'll I do?
I don't own a shotgun
I′ve stockpiled no food
I can′t hunt or navigate, I'm hopeless with maps
I′m wholly unprepared for societal collapse

I will find you where you are
Hitch a ride or steal a car
I will bike or jog or jump or break myself in two
When the streets run red with blood
Or turn to rivers due to flood
There is no dystopia that I wouldn't walk on through
′Cause if the world is ending
I'd prefer to be with you
I would prefer to be with you


I make my home in California
Every other month the state′s on fire
If I, if I said it didn't concern me
You'd have every right to laugh and call me a liar

I don′t know if there is
A better place than this
If there could be a feeling
More soothing than your kiss
And if the wildfires spread
And the ocean waters rise
I′ll be fine as long as my
Last look is in your eyes

I will find you where you are
Hitch a ride or steal a car
I will fight the zombies and the vigilantes too
When everyone has lost their grips
In the post-apocalypse
I will keep my mind clear and my values ever true
'Cause if the world is ending
I′d prefer to be with you
I would prefer to be


I will find you where you roam
And we will build some better home
A treehouse by the water and a trusty old canoe
We won't need electricity
At the tail-end of history
We′ll whittle our own soap and bathe with natural shampoo
'Cause if the world is ending
I′d prefer to be with you
I would prefer to be with you
