"Armageddon" lyrics - ALKALINE TRIO

ALKALINE TRIO
"Armageddon"

I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
Behind your back, it goes
A little something like this
It's way to big to miss

I got a letter in the mail
The sender failed to let me know where it came from
Opened it up and sure enough
There we were arm in arm again

I know it's small but my last call's been called a half an hour ago
I know it's late, but do you think you could at least fix it for me?
Then I'll go, I'll go alone, I swear I won't tell a soul
I'll drink this beer and write in fear of a song everybody hates

Armageddon, let the light in
Before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
Armageddon, we're not begging for too much I don't think
Just need a goodbye kiss before we sink

I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
Behind your back, it goes
A little something like this
It's way to big to miss

I got a letter in the mail
The sender failed to let me know where it came from
Opened it up and sure enough there we were up in arms again

Armageddon, let the light in
Before we say goodbye, give us something to believe in
Armageddon, we're not begging
For too much I don't think, just a goodbye kiss before we sink

Armageddon, let the light in
Before we say goodbye, give us something to believe in
Armageddon, we're not begging
For too much I don't think, just one last salute before we sink
