there's a charcoal sky tonight
see the hills on fire for miles
the air is hard to breathe
home is hard to leave
even now, even now

i will let you go
when the world stops spinning
i will let you go
when the world stops spinning
i will let you go 
when the sun and the stars explode
and the world stops spinning

when the terra firma quakes
when the oceans tidal wave 
i would rather die
than to ever say goodbye
to you my love, to you my love

i will let you go
when the world stops spinning
i will let you go
when the world stops spinning
i will let you go 
when the sun and the stars explode
and the world stops spinning

i don't need a savior
i don't need a saint
when the [bad word] i'll be calling out your name
how i long to be with you till the end

i will let you go
when the world stops spinning
i will let you go
when the world stops spinning
i will let you go 
when the sun and the stars explode
and the world stops spinning
