I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But it's feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that
And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
[chorus:]
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/matchbox_20/how_far_weve_come.html ]
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
It's gone gone baby it's all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
It was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you
Well it's gone gone baby it's all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
All you are terrible. Your comments are ruining a good song. The song is a metaphor. You can think it means several things. Its open ended. I believe it means that our economy is going down the drain. Or that it its about a relationship that you know wont work out but you see how far you go anyway.

To each there own. It means what ever you want it to mean
While to many it means the obvious, that the world is ending, its open ended, like stated by jimmysmith, it can be about economy, relationship, gambling, drinking, etc. "i think it turned ten o' clock but i don't really know how" can mean that he's been lingering so much on his particular habit that nothing else exists and lost track of time. "say your goodbyes if you've got some one you can say goodbye to", guess it means that when he finally snapped out of it and got his feet on the ground he was all alone, he drove everyone away from him. Then he must think, 'o well im screwed, lets see what happnes'
I like this song but the world wont be burnd to the ground first it will have a second ice age then it will burn up but it wont be for a long time so we have plenty of time to worry
The video for this song seems very hopeful and positive, about the progress of humanity, but the song seems pretty fatalistic so i'm not sure what to make of that. It seems like "how far we've come" is ironic and we're really driving ourselves into the ground.
