Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

I️ hold Patrick's frail body close to mine. His head is laying my my shoulder.

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe

Tears run down his face as we sway to the song playing on our old record player.

Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

"Pete, it can't end this way..." Patrick chokes out a sob that echoes throughout the entire ballroom.

"Shhh..." I️ run my hairs through his fluffy hair. He continues to cry.

Nothing's gonna change my world

"Nothing's gonna change my world." I️ sing quietly along with the song.

Nothing's gonna change my world

I️ can hear them banging on the grand door outside of the ballroom. Patrick wipes his eyes and sniffles.

Nothing's gonna change my world

"I️ can hear them..." Patrick hugs me closer

Nothing's gonna change my world

The banging continues. "WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE, WE CAN HEAR THE MUSIC!!"

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

Patrick starts shaking and I️ rub his back. "It's okay..."

They call me on and on across the universe

"It's all over." Patrick whimpers, but stops shaking.

Thoughts meander like a restless wind

"It's the end of the world." I️ whisper back truthfully

Inside a letter box they
Stumble blindly as they make their way

"It's true." He sighs and looks up at me, "Pete Wentz..."
Across the universe

"...will you have this dance, this final dance."

I️ can still hear the banging yelling at the door and I️ know Patrick can too, but we ignore it. We're not afraid anymore. "Of course."

Nothing's gonna change my world

I️ start singing again.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Patrick does too.

Nothing's gonna change my world

"Nothing's gonna change my world."

Nothing's gonna change my world

I️ put my hand under Patrick's chin and he looks up at me.

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing

I️ lean in and kiss him, one last time.

Through my open ears inciting and inviting me

We close our eyes and block out the door's hinges being broken.

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns

He tightens his grip on my shirt and I️ hold him as close as possible.

And calls me on and on across the universe

I️ hear a gunshot ring, but ignore it. For I'm already in a different world.

Jai guru deva om

I️ feel a dying pain in my chest and I️ know Patrick does too, as we fall together.

Nothing's gonna change my world

The record continues to echo through the castle Patrick and I️ had seemed shelter in for so long.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Everything going black.

Nothing's gonna change my world

But before I️ go out completely,

Nothing's gonna change my world

I️ feel the squeeze

Nothing's gonna change my world

of Patrick's hand.

Nothing's gonna change my world

I️ smile.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing can separate us.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing.

Jai guru deva

The record  plays.

Jai guru deva

Nothing matters anymore.

Jai guru deva

Nothing except Patrick.

Jai guru deva

And Nothing's gonna change my world as long as he's by my side.
