”Apocalypse Lyrics”

[Verse 1]
You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above

[Chorus]
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark

[Chorus]
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye

[Bridge]
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
Go and sneak us through the rivers
Flood is rising up on your knees
Oh, please
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
Come out and haunt me

[Verse 3]
Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist

[Chorus]
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye

[Outro]
Oh, when you’re all alone
I will reach for you
When you’re feeling low
I will be there too

About

In “Apocalypse,” Greg acknowledges the pain his new lover has suffered in her past relationships. He’s urging her to let go of heartbreak and the fear of feeling let down, and to embrace the highs and lows of this new relationship.

Greg discussed the beauty and danger that comes with letting go of fear and fully indulging in any relationship on his 2017 interview coupdemain:

You go into love, and you’re pretty much going to get hurt at some point, it’s just kind of the way it is. But if admitting that the person is worth it, that they’re worth the pain, they’re worth the trouble and it doesn’t matter because you just want them, and anything else that comes after that is another side? I really believe in that.
