"I think it's dark and it looks like it's rain," you said
"And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world," you said
And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead
And you smiled for a second

"I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain," you said
"And it's all running out like it's the end of the world," you said
And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead
And you smiled for a second

Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
"It's just the way I smile," you said

    Like allot of people I think It's about to lovers having a conversation,The couple is watching the world die,There is death happening everywhere,And they decided to spend their dying moments together,They're listening to the Rain on the window. The man could start crying,the woman sees this,and says the first part of the song,About how death isn't a big deal,They were growing old with age anyway,

    I always imagined the last part of the song as the couple in a hospital the man/woman is dying,And the first part of he song Is a dream,She tells him about the dream,Then she was about to talk about the first part of the song,But instead of saying it she smiles,And dies
