Long after
the ice has melted,
long after the flood
Long after the meteors,
the virus in the blood
They will come here digging in,
they'll take a look around
They will dig, and when they dig,
they'll find us in the ground
This used to be a city,
sitting in a country,
sitting on a continent
This used to be a river,
used to be a high school,
used to be a monument
There used to be two people
living in a house here,
one of many little homes
What will they know
from the positions of our bones?
Will they think we were happy together?
Will they think we had
something good?
Will they think we didn't
know we were dying?
Cause the music said we never would
Will they think we held on to each other?
When we knew that the end was near
Will they think we held on to each other?
Will they think we held on
like that for years?
Long before the moon was set
Long before the bombs
This was California
And the wind was in the power
I was brewing coffee
You were rinsing out your hair
The dogs were eating breakfast
There was jasmine in the air
This used to be a country
Wrapped around a city
Wrapped around a parking lot
Where every Sunday morning
They would have a market
Radishes and apricots
This used to be our mind
This used to be our hands
This used to be our microphones
What will they discover
in what used to be our bones?
Will they think we were happy together?
Will they think we'd made up our minds?
Will they think we were the life of the party?
Will they think we were the quiet kind?
Will they think we held on to each other
When we knew that the en d was near?
Will they think we held on to each other?
Well, they think we held off like
dead for years
Don't forget,
the world was full of light
Don't forget, the one the world's for
was full of light, of light
I was brewing coffee,
you were rinsing out your hair
The dogs were eating breakfast,
there was jasmine in the air
Do you think we
were happy together?
Do you think we made up our minds?
Do you think we were the life of the
A kind of thing we were the quiet kind?
Do you think we held on to each other
When we knew that the en d was near?
Do you think we held on to each other?
Do you think we held on like that for years?
Do you think we were happy together?
Do you think we had something good?
Do you think we ever knew we would die?
The music said we never would
I don't think we ever knew we would die
The music said we never would
