lyrics

Like a Great Big Meteor
=================

If all we have is now,
then what did we have then
as she sat across me nervously
in what used to be a den?

Back then it was 90 days,
And then it was 90 weeks,
And slowly we saw
It was not coming back
It was all just gone for good.

I'd like to remember this all as it was
The burble and the buzz
of surburban machines --
Lawnmowers on a Saturday twilight,
With the sky soft darkening.

And I'd like to say
The pain makes it real:
but it can't make you feel,
it just makes you survive --

I'd like to tell you
that we're all alive,
But we're not alive.

And it's a great big meteor
And it's a great big sun
And it's the last day calling
And it's the last day done.

And it's a great big meteor
And it's a great big sun
And it's the last day calling
And it's the last day done.

And it's a great big meteor
And it's a great big sun
It's like the last day falling
It's like the last day done.

It's like a great big meteor
It's like a dying sun
It's like the last day falling
It's like the last day done.

It's like a great big meteor
It's like a dying sun
It's like the last day falling
It's like the last day done.
