Stay with Me

You were a silhouette A shivering shadow in the mirror, ash and snow I took your fevered hands Felt like embers of the world's dying cloak And you were phantom 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 Would you stay with me? If you thought the war was over And everything made right Would you still believe in us? 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 scavenged through the city and the scars When the day would end Bar the door against the viewers and the dark We'd share a can of something And a bottle of bourbon I'd hid away It warmed me from within And you from without till I forget the chill ingrained Would you stay with me? If you thought the war was over And everything made right Would you still believe in us? Would your love for me grow colder? With no one left to fight Would you stay with me? Would you stay with me? It seems like every night I lie in bed and worry that the world would start to heal And now I'm terrified That if it did you'd start to ask if what we had is real Would you stay with me? If you thought the war was over And everything made right Would you still believe in us? Would your love for me grow colder? With no one left to fight Would you stay with me? Would you stay with me?
