Stay With Me
THRICE · To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere 2016 · Track 07 of 10
You were a silhouette, a shivering 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
Would you stay with me If you thought the war was over And everything made right? Would you still believe in us Or 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 scavenge 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'd forget the chill and grey
Would you stay with me If you thought the war was over And everything made right? Would you still believe in us Or 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 will start to heal And 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 Or would your love for me grow colder With no one left to fight?
Would you stay with me? Would you stay with me?
