Thrice - Stay With Me

You were a silhouette, shimmering shadow in the mirror with ash and snow I took your fevered hands, felt like embers of the world's dying glow And you were featherlike 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? 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 scavaged through the city and her scars And when the day would end, by the door against the demons and the dark We'd share a can of something, a bottle of bourbon I'd hid away It warmed me from within and you from without Till I forget the chilling grief 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 You lie in bed and worry that the world would start to heal Now I'm terrified If the demons 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?
