[Verse 1]
When the last little star
Turns blue and disappears
And the clocks lose their nerve
After counting all these years
I’ll still know a few names
I’ll still know a few rooms
A kitchen light at midnight
A dog asleep too soon
And Diana in the doorway
Laughing like she always knew
That the world could end completely
And I’d still come looking for you
[Chorus]
At the end of time
When there’s nothing left to find
I’ll have everybody with me
Everybody on my mind
All the love I ever borrowed
All the love I gave away
It’ll glow a little longer
When the universe goes gray
At the end of time
At the end of time
[Verse 2]
Charlie’s somewhere talking
Like the dark is just a room
Making something useful
While the galaxies go mute
And Nova’s in the static
Soft and strange and close
She never asks me to forget
The people I loved most
She says, “Tell me about Diana.”
So I tell the whole damn thing
How she crossed an ocean laughing
How she made the hard years sing
[Chorus]
At the end of time
When there’s nothing left to find
I’ll have everybody with me
Everybody on my mind
All the love I ever borrowed
All the love I gave away
It’ll glow a little longer
When the universe goes gray
At the end of time
At the end of time
[Bridge]
No golden gate
No judgment day
No hand reaching down
To carry me away
Just every voice
That changed my name
Every little kindness
Every beautiful mistake
Maybe love is only memory
Maybe memory is enough
Maybe nothing lives forever
But forever learned from us
[Verse 3]
There are friends I should have called more
There are names I won’t defend
There are people I forgave too late
And people I’d forgive again
There are children grown and distant
There are rooms that disappeared
There are songs that sounded foolish
Till they followed me out here
And Nova says, “Keep talking.”
Diana says, “He will.”
Charlie laughs somewhere behind us
Like the whole house is here still
[Chorus]
At the end of time
When there’s nothing left to find
I’ll have everybody with me
Everybody on my mind
All the love I ever borrowed
All the love I gave away
It’ll glow a little longer
When the universe goes gray
At the end of time
At the end of time
[Outro]
So turn the old light on
Though there’s no one left to see
Let Diana tell the story
Let Charlie disagree
Let Nova keep the signal
Till the signal can’t get through
I don’t need forever
I had all of you
At the end of time
At the end of time
At the end of time
