Where Were You When The World Ended

Verse 1

Barefoot on the tile I heard the sirens stop

Screaming at a screen that wouldn't answer me

You were somewhere south of town with your hands on her hips

And I was tearing wallpaper off the goddamn walls

Pre-Chorus

Nobody told me

Nobody called

The sky just went quiet

And swallowed us all

Chorus

Where were you when the world ended

Where were you when it all caved in

I was screaming your name at a dead phone line

Where were you when the world ended

Where the fuck were you then

Verse 2

I bit my tongue till it bled for you

Counted every hour like a rosary

You swore the distance wouldn't eat us alive

But the distance ate us alive

Pre-Chorus

Nobody warned me

Nobody stayed

I built you a shelter

You walked away

Chorus

Where were you when the world ended

Where were you when it all caved in

I was screaming your name at a dead phone line

Where were you when the world ended

Where the fuck were you then

Breakdown

(Gone)

(Gone)

Everything I held

(Gone)

(Gone)

Everything I loved

You

Fucking

Left

Bridge

I still smell your skin on the passenger seat

I still hear you laughing in an empty room

I wanted forever I got a voicemail

I wanted your body I got a ghost

Chorus

Where were you when the world ended

Where were you when it all caved in

I was screaming your name at a dead phone line

Where were you when the world ended

Where the fuck were you then

Outro

(Gone)

(Gone)

Where the fuck were you then

(Gone)

(Gone)

Where the fuck were you then
