Lyrics
They said in ten years we'd be all gone
Nothing happened
That this time would be our swan song
Nothing happened
Said we'd better start running faster
Nothing happened
Tomorrow would end in disaster
Nothing happened
Said the sky was finally falling
Nothing happened
And the end comes without warning
Nothing happened
Keep on guessing what tomorrow's after
Every week's just a new disaster
I ain't worried 'cause it don't matter
God already wrote that chapter
Post Hook
I don't care 'bout
No headlines
Ain't no panic
On my mind
I know better
The Good Lord told me so
Y'all can't change
How this story goes
They said water would take this town
Nothing happened
And we'd be six feet underground
Nothing happened
Said machines were taking over
Nothing happened
Like the sky was getting closer
Nothing happened
Told us all to fear tomorrow
Nothing happened
Said we'd have no time to borrow
Nothing happened
Keep on guessing what tomorrow's after
Every week's just a new disaster
I ain't worried 'cause it don't matter
God already wrote that chapter
Post Hook
I don't care 'bout
No headlines
Ain't no panic
On my mind
I know better
The Good Lord told me so
Y'all can't change
How this story goes
I used to chase every warning siren
Every rumor blowing through the wind
Till I quit letting people write my future
When my Father's already penned the end
Now the Gulf still rolls beneath the moonlight
Morning paints the same old sky in gold
Funny how the loudest fear gets quieter
When you already know the story's told
Final Verse
Said this time we crossed the line
Nothing happened
Just another fear to monetize
Nothing happened
Said this countdown's the final chapter
Nothing happened
Like this time there'd be no after
Nothing happened
Put all my faith right where it belongs
Somethin' happened
Found the peace I wanted all along
Somethin' happened
Final Hook
Keep on guessing what tomorrow's after
Every week's just a new disaster
I ain't worried 'cause it don't matter
God already wrote that chapter
Double Post Hook
I don't care 'bout
No headlines
Ain't no panic
On my mind
I know better
The Good Lord told me so
Y'all can't change
How this story goes
I don't care 'bout
No headlines
Ain't no panic
On my mind
I know better
The Good Lord told me so
Y'all can't change
How this story goes
Nothing happened
That this time would be our swan song
Nothing happened
Said we'd better start running faster
Nothing happened
Tomorrow would end in disaster
Nothing happened
Said the sky was finally falling
Nothing happened
And the end comes without warning
Nothing happened
Keep on guessing what tomorrow's after
Every week's just a new disaster
