They're just words, they ain't worth nothing
Cloud your head and push your buttons
And watch how they just disappear
When we're far away from here
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
Oh who put all those cares inside your head
You can't live your life on your deathbed
And it's been such a lovely day
Let's not let it end this way
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
Like sisters and brothers we lean on each other
Like sweethearts carved on a headstone
Oh why even bother, it'll be here tomorrow
It's not worth a-sleeping alone
And look at you and me still here together
There is no one knows you better
And we've come such a long long way
Let's put it off for one more day
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
I just saw "little miss sunshine" for the 5th x. What a lovely movie, and I agree that this song is sooo perfect. I think of the relationship of alan arkins character "grandpa" when I hear the song... the very honest outlook on life. In the movie, alan's character is the most honest, functiional and clearheaded. Almost like...Whatever happens in life, good or bad, it's ok. Let's enjoy the good while we can.
To me, it's a great counter to all those madly-passionate cheese-tastic love songs. "We're in love, it's a great life, let's chill." is sort of the attitude I get from it.
I just watched Little Miss Sunshine for the second time and this song is absolutely perfect. So romantic, yet the music is too beautiful to be cheesy. I believe every word this man says.
Like.. ahh we could have that seemingly impossible fairy tale love and fight for all our dreams.. or we could you know.. just watch TV together or something..
it makes me feel.. human family.
Like.. I COULD do it now.. buuuut.. eh, nah. I feel good now and I don't feel like doing anything.
Goes perfectly with Little Miss Sunshine..

I think this song is about postponing-- almost procrastinating on -- dying. It's called "Til The End of Time" because neither person wants to die. It's a cheery song because there is a sense of control over one's own death.
"You can't live your life on your deathbed... let's not let it end this way"-- 'this way' being death.
"Like sweethearts carved on a headstone
Oh why even bother, it'll be here tomorrow
It's not worth it sleeping alone" -- don't bother dying, the grave will be here tomorrow, and it's better to sleep together than to sleep alone in your tomb.
"And look at you and me still here together...
And we've come such a long long way
Let's put it off for one more day"--
Why bother leaving the world we know now? We can die later.
I think the "words" mentioned in the first stanza are fears about dying, which the singer tries to mollify in the rest of the song.
