Lyrics

You were a silhouette, shimmering shadow
In the mingled ash and snow
I took your fevered hands felt like embers
Of the world's dying glow
And you were feather light as I carried you
Quietly through the crumbling streets
And in the fading light
I could see in your eyes
That somehow we were meant to meet

But would you stay with me
If you thought the war was over
And everything made right?
Would you still believe in us?
And would your love for me grow colder
With no one left to fight?

Would you stay with me?
Would you stay with me?

After the fever left, together we'd scavage
Through the city and her scars
And when the day would end
Bar the door against the demons and the dark
We'd share a can of something
And the bottle of bourbon I had hid away
It'd warm me from within
And you from without till
I forget the chill and gray

Would you stay with me
If you thought the war was over
And everything made right?
Would you still believe in us?
And would your love for me grow colder
With no one left to fight?

Would you stay with me?
Would you stay with me?

Oh, it seems like every night, I lie in bed
And worry that the world would start to heal
Now I'm terrified that if it did
You'd start to ask if what we have is real

Would you stay with me
If you thought the war was over
And everything made right?
Would you still believe in us?
And would your love for me grow colder
With no one left to fight?

Would you stay with me?
Would you stay with me?
