Not A Catastrophe

(album: Denis Was A Bird - 2021)

It's not a catastrophe
It will happen to you and it will happen to me
And the sky won't fall down to the sea
And the joys won't end with you

I thought that I would lose my mind in some rogue way
I didn't
I thought that I might forget how much you hate small talk
I didn't
I wondered if I might suddenly become a man
I have not

Open up the bottle pour me one last drink
Tell me this ain't gonna be as bad as you think
Open up the bottle give me one last wink
Tell me this ain't gonna be as bad as you think
As you think

I thought that life might be a lot without you here
It's alright
Now that you're kind of everything and everywhere
In low light
I wondered if your singing voice would slip my mind
It will not

Open up the bottle pour me one last drink
Tell me this ain't gonna be as bad as you think
Open up the bottle give me one last wink
Tell me this ain't gonna be as bad as you think
As you think

The end is not the enemy
The body built to die
I could fill your time with worry but I'm really not that guy
And everything is tragedy but that's not what I wanna be
There's always something there that stays alive

It's not a catastrophe
It will happen to you and it will happen to me
And the sky won't fall down to the sea
And the joys won't end with you

It's not a catastrophe
You had a good time
And it was nice to be around

It's not a catastrophe
You had a good time
And it was nice to be around

It's not a catastrophe
You had a good time
And it was nice to be around

It's not a catastrophe
You had a good time
And it was nice to be around

It's not a catastrophe
You had a good time
And it was nice to be around
