Lyrics
Don't move and don't speak.

Just stand still and soak in everything.

Watch the birds and the bees,

As you fall to your knees.

And think of all the memories that come flashing back.

Just don't let another teardrop,

Roll down, oh down, your pretty face.

And I don't want to forget,

And I don't want this to end...

But if this is it,

And all we have is crumbling down before us.

I know we've done all we can.

So if this is it,

And all we know seems to fade to black.

I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Don't scream and don't cry.

Just hum yourself a little lullaby and take in the world.

See the pain and despair,

Fade away as you fall to state of grace.

And know in your heart, know in your soul, how I felt.

Just don't let another whimper,

Tear it's way outside, oh outside, your pretty smile.

And I don't want to forget,

And I don't want this to end...

But if this is it,

And all we have is crumbling down before us.

I know we've done all we can.

So if this is it,

And all we know seems to fade to black.

I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel.

We've made it through the sticks and the stones and the fire,

To escape into a happily ever after.

We've made it through the falls and slips and tumbles,

And we always picked each other back up off the dirty ground.

And now we've reached the end of our story,

Not another chapter, or another word is to come.

Siting and perched on the edge of glory.

Let's take the fall together.

Let's take the fall together.

But if this is it,

And all we have is crumbling down before us.

I know we've done all we can.

So if this is it,

And all we know seems to back to black.

I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel.
