The last two people on Earth


I saw the news on TV, and we saw the explosions go across the screen before the screen went all black, you and I had a combined heart attack so deep it could kill us. While all I can see is the reflection of you and me all sweaty looking at the screen. Everybody's dying, and you're the one I'm holding I wish you'd love me like the world is ending, and we're the only ones standing while everyone's out praying. While everyone is out praying your hands around my waist is my god just like our love that could wipe out the whole nation. You are the flame that gets me off. The buildings seem to be burning, and my body is yearning and with you I'll be till the world splits in two.
