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?
