Lyrics

Until the Whole World’s Gone

Rick Aster
1982

Your broken heart won’t last too long
Maybe long enough to write a song about it
But there you are and it feels like forever
And you seem to believe you’ll never get out of it

When all the pieces have fallen apart
And all you feel is the beat of your heart . . . break
Down on the floor it’s a broken day
Look out the door and I say it’s a mistake

And if giving up is leaving I’m gone
I don’t care anymore
I can’t keep going on
Until the whole world’s gone

Track lights and your tunnel vision
Won’t save you from any collision at all
Clouds break and you start to sink
That’s where you saw the planet shrink so small

And if giving up is leaving I’m gone
I don’t care anymore
I can’t keep going on
Until the whole world’s gone
