Not a Catastrophe - Tom Rosenthal

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 would be a lot without you here

It’s alright

Now that you’re kind of verything and everywhre

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
