Shortly Before The End Lyrics
How long did we all think this all would last?
Who could have counted days as they flew past?
But before we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying.
Who would have though it'd come as such a show?
A pink and silver day... who was to know?
Even as we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song, to hum through the hours of dying.
Who could have counted days as they flew past?
But before we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying.
Who would have though it'd come as such a show?
A pink and silver day... who was to know?
Even as we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song, to hum through the hours of dying.

ok go has like the most random lyrics, but there so great...
mmmm. pretty song.
a break-up song. i think.. at least i can see it as that "but before we go sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying". love this song
It's about the end of the world....
Its actually about the same thing as "Return"; his friend dying after falling out of the window.
Yes, supposedly this song is about their friend that died falling 3 stories out of a window with another friend, but think about it...
"...through the hours of dying" There is simply no such thing as instant death. Whenever you're in a bad mood or in pain or you're just not having a good time, time seems to pass much more slowly. In the "instant" it takes for someone to die, like in a car crash, it could feel like hours during their suffering. Hence "Sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying," keep me busy and help me get m mind off this pain.
"Who would have though it'd come as such a show?" She fell three stories out a window. Who would've guessed you'd die that way? "A pink and silver day... who was to know?" It was just another ordinary day, a great day until that point - who could've guessed this fantastic day would be the day you die?
Hm, that's all I've got. I'm really unsure about the rest of the lyrics...
the makes me sad and happy at the same time..
