Lyrics:
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
And as the earth runs to the ground
Oh, girl, it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh 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 runs to the ground
Oh, girl, it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh it’s you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves…
Oh it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Yes it’s you I welcome death with
As the world, as the world caves in
As the world caves in

I personally like Sarah's version more but this is the original and deserves at least 2 times more than Sarah did
I like this srry it took a cover for me to discover if
When I saw this it had 6.9m views how nice
Who pinged me
This is absolutely ridiculous on how the cover got 80 million+ views but the original just have only 6.9 views (noice).
Adam Neely got me here.
the original is always better
Careful now! Don't step on him!
god i want a full chior and orchestra to do this with him it would be so glorious if the arrangement hits
This is fire, but to anyone wondering why Sarah's version is more popular is because it was posted and used as sound on many videos in Tiktok, the influence. That's why
nice one shhsshhshsh
0:49 best part
Better than Sarah
perfection. can’t believe people think some girl is better
Esta belíssima canção nos traz mistos de emoções, saudades, dores e outros sentimentos.
well this hit's differently in 2022
LEAN
this song is absolutely amazing I could listen to this every second of my life and not get bored I wish I could sing this to him right him
Get this to MILLIONS of views pls
I swear bro, this masterpiece made me shed a tear, no cover could ever compete with the original
This version is way more better .
As a musician I think it's an honor your song reached that level. The girl Made it more famous, yes, but his the one who wrote the song
This song is going to be recognized as the last song on the earth.

When your friend leaves the country:
Que música meus amigos, que música
I don’t know if you’ll see this but this is one of the best songs that I have ever listened to, absolutely stunning, That is what true talent is buddy. I’m sorry it took so long for everyone to find this song. Keep up the absolutely great work!
his voice fits perfectly with this song
this version is so peaceful the cover is more depressing for some reason :/
Anyone else see the genius use of Jon Lennon’s imagine 🖤💀
People who prefer the original cover are chads
When your character dies in project zomboid:
I like how they just embrace the fact that they are all gonna die and not find a solution to it😢😞
Did anyone see the dance in the background is so strange
Well there's is there only time on Earth
This Is Pure Gem
crying ducc
Funnily enough I originally thought this was about suicide and not bombings :/ ain’t I stupid
AS THE ATOM BOB LOCKS IN
: king of for shadowing
I found this from the crying duck meme and holy shit this is depressing and sad. I mean it’s such a sad song to be sped up and be used as as a meme. It’s honestly just insane. Like WOW. For some strange reason I can’t point out, NO other song compares to this outstanding song
Also the is good in lyrics and in melody.
I’m was literally crying while listening to this song.
This master piece deserves more attention for sure.
Edit: I edited the comment a little.
this is the original!!! I found it at last!!
There's way too much arguing over who's version is better. Both versions are fantastic in their own way, of course Matt deserves credit for giving birth to a wonderful song and his talent is mind blowing. But Sarah's cover is great in its own way. She's got her own talent that she used for this song. They're both wonderful and amazing beyond words. Saying Sarah is overrated or doesn't deserve the views is ridiculous and unfair to her talent. Respect both artists.
sht i thought this is an old song from the 70 or smh
This song makes so many sense in those days
Does he say ''runs'' or ''burns'?
Personally, I think this one is noticably better than the cover people keep talking about. His voice, everything about how he does this song just fits alot better. A lot of comments are saying it gives of vibes of old classics like Frank Sinatra, and I completely agree. And that's the feeling this song should give off!
The rambunctious forecast visually borrow because edward conventionally press underneath a cute theory. bumpy, cut experience
First time hearing the original and this slaps harder than the cover. you deserve more
I defienntly prefer this version over the cover. The other one is still good tho
OMG 😭 that was a gut punch. Beautiful.
Primera ves q lo escucho y la verdad muy weno.. con estilo baby..!
