El productor Matt Serletic, recién habiendo terminado de ayudar en convertir a "Shine" de Collective Soul en una pieza imprescindible para MTV, conoció un tipo llamado Rob Thomas, un escritor habilidoso de Orlando que estaba buscando un lugar. Serletic y Thomas probaron músicos en busca de un par de personas que podían apoyar la obvia habilidad de Thomas de escribir buena música de pop. Thomas, nacido en Alemania como hijo de militares, ya había tocado con el baterista Paul Doucette y el bajista Brain Yale en varias bandas locales.

Verse 1:
CG I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
Am But its feeling just like every other morning before,
F Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
CG The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
Am Started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
F Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
Chorus:
AmF But I believe the world is burning to the ground
F Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
C Let's see how far we've come
G Let's see how far we've come
AmF Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
F Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
C Let's see how far we've come
G Let's see how far we've come
Verse 2:
CG I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
Am Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
F Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
CG I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
Am Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you got someone you can
F Say goodbye to
Chorus:
AmF But I believe the world is burning to the ground
F Oh well I guess we're gonna find out

Bridge:
Am Gone, gone baby, it's all gone
There's no one in the corner
And there's nobody home

It was just all cool
Now it's over for me
And it's over for you
G
