"As The World Caves In" lyrics
"As The World Caves In"
(originally by Matt Maltese)
My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The papers say it's doomsday
The button has been pressed
We're gonna nuke each other up boys
'Til old Satan stands impressed
And here it is, our final night alive
As the earth burns to the ground
Oh boy it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, boy, it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in
You put your finest suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh we're going out in style babe
And everything's on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say goodnight love
While my organs pack it in
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground
Oh boy it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, boy, it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in

Sarah Cothran first recorded a short version of
Matt Maltese's "As The World Caves In" for TikTok. It garnered more than one million views, and she decided to make the full version which was posted on YouTube on the 13th of May, 2021, with the message
"A TON of y'all asked for a full version of this so here ya goo! I hope y'all love it as much as I love this song".
"I tried to bring my own passion and intensity though," recalled Sarah Cothran, "Matt Maltese even reached out, and we became friends after. As far as the songs goes, I feel like listeners could relate to the idea of the world caving in, because the past year has been really tough for everyone. I hope I could give them a little bit of relief."

This avoids the stress of falling out of it

And you're not here
And there's no one to blame but the drink and my wandering hands

Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew
That you talked to her, maybe did even worse
I kept quiet so I could keep you
And ain't it funny
