I have stood here before inside the pouring rain  
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain  
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign  
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain

Ahhhh  
Here come the Sun King  
Here come the Sun King  
Everybody’s laughing  
Everybody’s happy  
Here come the Sun King  
Quando para mucho mi amore de felice corazon  
Mundo paparazzi mi amore chica ferdi parasol  
Questo obrigado tanta mucho que can eat it carousel

With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older  
I tripped the merry-go-round  
With this very unpleasin’, sneezin’ and wheezin’  
The calliope crashed to the ground

For all I know  
This might be my last night  
If that’s how it goes, there’s no one  
I would rather be lying beside  
When it all comes crashing  
When it all comes crashing

Would you mind if I [still](https://www.definitions.net/definition/still) loved you? Would you mind if [things](https://www.definitions.net/definition/things) don’t last? Would you mind if I hold onto You so that I won’t crash?

Sweet like candy to my soul  
Sweet you rock, and sweet you roll  
Lost for you, I’m so lost, for you  
Oh, when you come  
Crash into me

If you’re lost, you can look and you will find me  
Time after time  
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting  
Time after time

Time, time, time  
See what’s become of me  
While I looked around for my possibilities  
I was so hard to please  
Look around  
Leaves are brown  
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

It’s the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)

Why does the sun go on shining?  
Why does the sea rush to shore?  
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world  
Cause you don’t love me any more?

You’ve been around for such a long time now  
Oh, maybe I could leave you, but I don’t know how  
And why should I be lonely every night  
When I can be with you  
Oh, yes, you make it right

And I don’t listen to the guys who say  
That you’re bad for me and I should turn you away  
Cause they don’t know 'bout us  
And they’ve never heard of love

Through the lonely nights I think of you  
Through the lonely hours I dream of you  
I don’t know why I do it, but I do  
Why do you take it, what’s wrong with you?

When winter comes with snow and sleet  
And me with hunger and cold feet

You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone,  
And now you’re sorry, you’re lonesome and scared.  
And you say you’d be happy if you could just come back home.  
Well, here’s a quarter, call someone who cares.

Well, you have no right to ask me how I feel

You say you will love me  
If I have to go  
You’ll be thinking of me  
Somehow I will know

Someday, when I’m lonely  
Wishing you weren’t so far away  
Then I will remember  
Things we said today
