What This World Is Coming To - Nate Ruess, Beck

Someone sucked the life out of the room

When that someone said goodbye much too soon

I’d hate for you to love me cause you saw me out with someone who you read

about in the news

But I guess that’s what this world is coming to

I watched as your wrists began to bruise

Threading ribbons weaving patterns

Beautiful and blue

All your late nights came to life

And then died upon just one dislike

Never mind all the people that you moved

But I guess that’s what this world is coming to

So let’s get high here in the moonlight

Even the stars go right over our head

I think I’m gonna shine in the afterlife

Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead

So let’s get high in the moonlight

Even the stars go right over our head

I know I’m gonna shine here in the afterlife

Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead

You know that I can’t stop thinkin' bout you

You’re the source of everything I do

You brought faith to songs I sing

So I went and bought a diamond ring

I wanna spend each night here with you

Yeah you took everything I was

And you turned it into something I’ve become

Good god what’s a boy to do?

But I guess that’s what this world

Oh, I guess that’s what this world

Oh, I guess that’s what this world is, is coming to

Oh, I guess that’s what my life is, is coming to
