JP Saxe & Julia Michaels "If The World Was Ending" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified 

"Why would I want to spend forever with someone who didn't want to spend it with me?" JP, this needs to be a lyric in your next song.

thx for havin us!!

My face when she started speaking the lyrics: 😞

blink if you agree that this is the best collab of this year

“In LA, people think a lot about the apocalypse and their ex’s” this is literally the best line uttered in 2019

Why is no one talking about how good he sounds....

i thank julia michaels for introducing this dudes voice to me

He reminds me of Andrew Siwicki

“It’s been a year now, think i’ve figured out how to think about you without it ripping my heart out” the sincerity in julia’s voice though. I felt that

JP Saxe : *I wrote this song imagining some catastrophic event* 2 months later *Corona virus enters the group chat*

Juliaaaaaaa why you no sing???? 🥺

this song really hits different when your heart JUST got broken.

The fact thay their dating and I was over here like omg they have such good chemistry, they would be a good couple, they look so in love...when they literally are

i literally was JUST listening to this song wtf

I'm really proud I didn't find this song from tik tok

I want Billie and Finneas to cover this song so badly

He’s such a good natural singer he doesn’t even need any audiotune dudes amazing

Get a man who looks the way that JP looks at Julia to you.

These loves songs hit different after a break up...

"it takes a lot of effort not to hate someone" that shit hit different

As a 22 year old guy who has just been dumped out of the blue after 6 years over TEXT. This song has made me cry more than literally anything. Update: she still hasn’t said a word since the text she broke up with me with. 🙃 stopped following eachother but we still view eachothers stories from time to time hahahaihatelifehahaha

Bruh why does this dude look like Vincent van Gogh :o

“I know, you know, we know you weren’t down for forever and it’s fine” the it’s fine part honestly hurts my heart so much because what else can you do you know? no matter how much you love them, you can’t make them love you back so you throw out an it’s fine and move on with your life the best you can //:

okay, but does anyone else feel this in their bones? like wow

1:00 Julia’s little retching noise when getting complemented is soooo relatable hahaha . But anyway big agree!!! She is a mad talented song writer

i can’t believe she SPOKE THE LYRICS AND DIDNT SING THEM IM ABOUT TO RIOOOTTTTT

been waiting for this, they’re both so intelligent this is mesmerising

Met JP about 2 years ago. He’s literally such a humble dude and I’m glad he blew up. Deserves it all.

5:40 how’d she say content with such sadness. She needs a hug

I was also at the same Shawn Mendes concert when the earthquake happened and it was so scary when the lights started swinging back and forth! I found out after that Julia Michaels, Camila Cabello, Nina Dobrev, and a ton more celebrities were there too

going through a break up and this song rippppps you apart dude, best song i’ve heard in a while. makes me actually cry every time but best song

I love them so much🥺🥺🥺. I love that JP is gaining popularity, but I also hate that he’s no longer my little secret

"it takes a lot of effort not to hate somebody" mood :D

He's one of those people who sounds good without even really trying

I need another one of these for “Same Room” by JP, there’s so much beauty to it, like everything he writes, and I’d love to hear him break it down while my heart breaks along with him 😂💜

“it takes a lot of effort not to hate somebody” yesss. so many people think they’re “over” a person but if you still feel anger toward someone, it’s because you still care. “you really impacted my life and you really broke my heart” it’s a hard thing to just let things be what they were.

Honestly.. I have listened to the this song at least 80 times since the day it was released.. One of the best songs I have ever listened too

I am in love with these two and the song and the fact that they are TOGETHER makes everything sooooo much better

hey jP, just wanted to thank you for this song. I can relate to this so much. this song really articulated a feeling that stabbed me in the heart. I felt like i missed someone that didn't deserved to be missed but i couldn't help but miss. it reminded me so much of that one quote from pablo neruda.. "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.” anyways thanks for such a soul touching song!!

It's wonderful to hear an artist sound just as good live with no effort. How refreshing.

“I know you know we know you weren’t down for forever and it’s fine. I know you know we know we weren’t meant for each other and it’s fine” -felt that. Reminded me of my ex :( ily b. This songs my fav.

I had ignored this song but I'm glad I listened to it😗✌🏾

This entire video, the lyrics. the explanation, all of it just STABED me in the heart.

i’m loving this song, and i’ve listened to it 16 times in the past couple days, and now it’s on genius??? kinda crazy??! but... i love it!!

The last time I was this early, Genius was still RapGenius..

"In L.A. people think a lot about the apocalypse and their exes." Hilariously true. 😂

I am SO HAPPY JP is finally getting recognized!! Good for you dude, you deserve it!!!!

I cried when i first heard this song, that is when you know its good music. It hits your soul.

If the world was ending, this song really hits me. As the current situation of the world. *Coronavirus*

This song is one of the best I have ever listened so far!!

Just existing with each other *_okay that hit deeper than anything else, how did he just explain my life_*

JP saying just existing together yow that got to me

JP's VOICE 😩😩💛💛💛

I love this song. It's just so deep. It makes me want to appreciate the days I have with my loved ones.

She is so beautiful omgggg

I had a very close friend who fell in love with me when I wasn't ready so we stopped talking to each other few years ago. Now I miss him and I think about him listening to this song. Hits me every time

Whoever read this comment I wish you a happy life☺️

OMG I literally just found this song yesterday and was wondering when Genius is gonna make this video!!!

I just heard this song for the first time two days ago, and I literally broke down crying. It really hit me hard, since I’m approaching the one-year anniversary of my breakup. 😭 beautiful song

I've been listening to this song on repeat for months love it so much

Dang there’s like no auto tune

I always think about this song from the perspective of two people who both believe that the other one didn't see forever with the other one. But it took the world ending for them to get back together and realise that they were both wanting forever and now they have all the time they have left together.

It’s been a year now think I figured out how,how to think abt u without ripping my heart out. That line omg gets me everytime🥺❤️

one of the best songs i’ve ever heard, means a lot to me. julia & jp thank you angels ♥️

The way they look at each other I love it 🤩

So, story time.. I was dating a guy for 9 months, id known him for about 5 years before, we went to school together and we were friends, we didn't talk a lot at first but once we REALLY startes talking we ende dul dating, 9 months later he says he isnt happy, few days pass and we end up splitting up.. It was hard, moreso for me than him because i didn't know what I'd done wrong. This song speaks to me, because i know i wasnt anywhere near over him.. 8 months later i get a text from him... "Hey.." And we started talking again, we'd talked during the seperation, not often, maybe like 4 times over the 8 months, mostly not long conversation, short "hey congratulations on ext..." Or "happy birthday", stuff like that. But i find it crazy because a year and a half later here we are, still together now. Doing really good. I could really relate to " I know you know we know you werent down for forever and its fine, i know you know we know we weren't meant for eachother and it's fine..." I relate to it a lot because i tried to be fine during all of that but it's crazy to me how you can think that and still end up back together and totslly meant for each other. Sometimes all it takes is time and a little growing up to completely change things. ❤

When you've been in love and it ends... the world feels like it's a little less colorful, but music helps

I wondered why I liked this song so much, then I found out that FINNEAS produced it and now it all makes sense

they're so talented

“I grew up in LA, and it is pretty common the earthquake situation” GIRL I’M FROM MEXICO CITY!!!

he reminds me of FINNEAS

This is the only genius interview i will watch and not dislike

The way Julia is telling the lyrics hit me different

I love their friendship omfg

He looks like he could be Andrew Siwicki's brother

Am I'm the only one who thought she was British by the way she sings?

I love the way JP lookes at Julia :)

Julia: Getting over somebody takes a lot of skill because it takes a lot of effort not to hate somebody and think like, you've really impacted my life and you really broke my heart and to be able to get pass that and look at somebody and be like "hey, we're good now, I'm good, you're good." Like we can shake hands and go our separate ways and feel content. 😢❤️

this is probably my favorite genius interview but like i don’t think you can misunderstand the lyrics the message extremely obvious, and their explanations are just reciting the words

I just love this song, Finneas and both JP Saxe and Julia Michaels:))

producer: how much auto tune do u want? jp & julia: whomst? is that some type of sauce??

Ahh their voices are so perfectly beautiful

“I know, you know, we know” so simple but perfect! Wish I thought of it 😂💯

I cant hear this song without thinking of LET'S GOOOOOO after the chorus

This man’s singing is utterly magical

This song came out when me and my ex first started having relationship problems and we tried so hard to make it work but we couldn't anymore and I would listen to this song on repeat.

i am addicted to this song.. its amazing

I love the song but it kinda explains itself lol

i love their chemistry

wishing to u both to have more music together💗

Oh i love this collab so much😭💓

this deserve more attention

I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST.

Hmstly this song hits different during quarantine man

"Well f*** is it even worth it anymore" -My thought process everyday

This helps u understand the music more

Juliaaa🤩👑

I wasn’t sure when I first listened to this song but now it’s my favorite

so glad i discovered him before this its so amazing seeing every bit of growth and success

Of course Finneas produced this song.. ❤️ What a trio ❤️❤️❤️
