Up Up And Away

i think it turned ten o'clock but i don't really know
then i can't remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and i couldn't stop myself
i started running but there's no where to run to
i sat down on the street and took a look at myself
said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come

How long till we're confronted
with how far we've come?

This is more than a story of
The end of the world.
It's a story of hanging on,
of being terrified,
and then

letting go.

Because letting go is the only way to move forward.

It's a story of people whose loved ones
have died.

Of love that's broken up.

Of kids whose best friends have
gone to college,

the army,

across the country,

out of our lives.

And all of these things
are the end of the world
for someone.
The end of one
specific
someone's world.

And they've gotta pick up.
And they've gotta move on.
And they've gotta find out
just how far they've come.
