once upon a time
i thought that i had my
whole life under control
now i know i can't
begin to comprehend
the things that i don't know

the end of the world
is the name of a girl
who left you for somebody else
'cause you didn't love her like you loved yourself

you'll never win when you're against the wind
in a game where it makes up the rules
sink or just swim until your arms give in
believe me, they eventually do

the end of the world
is the name of a girl
who left you for somebody else
'cause you didn't love her like you loved yourself

i hope there come a time
we can all realize how wonderful she really is
and all of her kids get a fair chance to live
in a world that is each one of ours
