Kate Miller-heidke The Last Day On Earth lyrics


Look down,
The ground below is crumbling.
Look up,
The stars are all exploding.

Hey yeah, hey yeah oh oh
Hey yeah, hey yeah

It's the last, day on earth,
In my dreams, in my dreams,
It's the end, of the world,
And you've come back, to me.
In my dreams.

Between,
The dust and the debris.
There's a light,
Surrounding you and me.

Hey yeah, hey yeah oh oh
Hey yeah, hey yeah

It's the last, day on earth,
In my dreams, in my dreams,
It's the end, of the world,
And you've come back, to me.
In my dreams.

Kate Miller-heidke The Last Day On Earth lyrics
And you hold me closer than I,
Can ever remember being held,
And I'm not, afraid to sleep now,
If we can stay like this until.

It's the last, day on earth,
In my dreams, in my dreams,
It's the end, of the world,
And you've come back, to me.
In my dreams.

Hey yeah, hey yeah oh oh
Hey yeah, hey yeah

In my head I repeat our conversations,
Over and over 'til they feel like hallucinations,
You know me, I love to lose my mind.
And everytime anybody speaks your name,
I still feel the same, I ache, I ache, I ache inside.

In my head I repeat our conversations,
Over and over 'til they feel like hallucinations,
You know me, I love to lose my mind.
And everytime anybody speaks your name,
I still feel the same, I ache, I ache, I ache inside.
I ache, I ache, I ache inside.
I ache, I ache, I ache inside.
I ache, I ache, I ache inside.

Why Nepal ?? This is the most common question made by my friends. The reason were simply 1) Nepal was in my bucket list, 2) To trek the Himalaya, 3) To volunteer my service and 4) To have fun.

Spent my next two months in the wonderful country of Nepal with friends whom I met up at the local volunteer group ( RCDP Nepal ), school, local market and excursion.

With the altitude varies from about a few hundred meters in the south and west of Nepal till above 5 thousands meters in the Himalayan region, the climate thus changes from the hot tropical environment in example Chitwan to the dry freezing condition in the Tengboche .

Aussie Getaway 2009

After I was made redundant by the company in August . I decided to embark on a road trip to the Outback which one task which I need to fulfill while I am still alive ( bucket list ).

Some said that I am adventurous while others described me as crazy. The true is I was lost, lost about career path, lost about friends, lost about relationship, lost about family, lost about my next whereabouts and lost about my future.

There are many things which I always wanted to try and accomplish. I only managed to finish maybe 1/5 of them. The problem is I can't have everything, sacrifices have to made.

During the journey, I encountered many daunting situations. Lost my way, tripped in the storm, worried about the wild animals, strangers, loneliness , car stuck in the sand
and mud, and worst of all hit a kangaroo at high speed in the dark.

I was lucky to escape unharmed however the poor kangaroo was killed instantly upon the impact and the car rolling over it thereafter. Its not the car which I am concern about, its the poor innocent life which had been taken away by me in a flash. I killed an animal not for its meat or fur which is unacceptable for my belief. This made me a murderer...

Nevertheless, I managed to get over the incident gradually with helps of existing friends and new friends whom I made along the way. Most importantly, is I realized that I should treasure every of the moments while I am still alive. Attempt stuffs which I always wish to do as I never know what might happen to me tomorrow.

It was a life changing experience for me and I am grateful that I was given a chance to do it.

One significant structure we passed along the way is the Franklin Shelter at Mount Franklin ( 1500m above the sea level ) . It is hand built and assembled by the group of( architectural students from my university. ( University of South Australia ). It is such a wonderful masterpiece with workmanship of a professional builder.
