End of the World Lyrics
I don't wanna ride this roller caster
I think I wanna get off
But they buckled me down
Like it's the end of the world
If you don't wanna have this conversation
Then you better get out
Cause we're climbing to our death
At least that's what they want you to think
Just in case we jump the track
I have a confession to make
Something like a corkscrew
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fly
I don't wanna be dangled over the edge
Of a dying romance
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna lie
I don't wanna believe it's over
I just wanna stay with you tonight
I didn't mean to scream out quite so loudly
When we screeched to a halt
I'm just never prepared, for the end of the ride
Maybe we should get on something simpler
Like a giant balloon
I've got two tickets left
And so do you
Instead of giving them away to some stranger
Lets make them count, come on
Let's get back in line again
And ride the big one
Don't you wanna fall
Don't you wanna fly
Don't you wanna be dangled over the edge
Of this aching romance?
If it's gonna help, then I wanna know
That we squeeze out every moment
But if there's nothing left
Can you tell me why that it is you're holding on to me
Like it's the end of the world
I think I wanna get off
But they buckled me down
Like it's the end of the world
Then you better get out
Cause we're climbing to our death
At least that's what they want you to think
I have a confession to make
Something like a corkscrew
I don't wanna fly
I don't wanna be dangled over the edge
Of a dying romance
I don't wanna lie
I don't wanna believe it's over
I just wanna stay with you tonight
When we screeched to a halt
I'm just never prepared, for the end of the ride
Like a giant balloon
I've got two tickets left
And so do you
Lets make them count, come on
Let's get back in line again
And ride the big one
Don't you wanna fly
Don't you wanna be dangled over the edge
Of this aching romance?
That we squeeze out every moment
But if there's nothing left
Can you tell me why that it is you're holding on to me
Like it's the end of the world

A quote directly from Matt, regarding the song.
"The biggest love of my life had fallen out of love with me because he thought I had fallen out of love with him. This was the saddest thing that had happened in my life romantically to date.
The song was a real attempt to reconcile with someone who meant very much to me."
Using the metaphor of a roller coaster for a relationship, and that roller coaster, like the relationship, coming to an end. Also, about trying to let go at the end of a relationship.
