Apocalyptic Love Song

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

But 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 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 wild fires 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
