It Can All Go Up in Flames
I would let the world burn
If it meant I could see you one last time
I could let the skies collapse
if I could press pause on time

When Everything is Well
in a little sun filled gale
there is a wooden swing
it's creaky and it's old, but then
so is everything
it is so dear and pretty
