Stay with Me - Thrice

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?

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 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?

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 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?

Or would your love for me grow colder

With no one left to fight?

Would you stay with me?

Would you stay with me?
