If this was earth’s final day
I hope it’s like a firework show
Lighting up half of your childish smile
Birthday songs play in the streets
Wax candles all blown out
May the bit of hope you wish for come true
Happy and sometimes sad
Light jumps and flashes, it’s all breaking down
What a beautiful night for the earth to end
In this small town, we’re forever changing
Let’s go back to that night, back to that world, 1999
I drank up the melon soda
But left only the cherries
Days so vibrant once we knew the end
Taking the good with the bad
Light jumps and flashes, it’s all breaking down
Someday that night will surely arrive
When we all reach out for a loving hand
Tell me about the end of that night, the end of that world, 1999
The world’s most vicious criminal
And the sweet child that dreams big
In the end, we all surrender equally
The “I love you” we couldn’t say
The “Farewell” and “I’m sorry”
We carry them with us as we become stars
Light jumps and flashes, it’s all breaking down
What a beautiful night for the earth to end
And still we will sing of unchanging love
Let’s go back to that night, back to that world, 1999
Tell me about the end of that night, the end of that world, 1999
