You found me somewhere between the ruins, With your gun in your hand and your eyes full of silence. You didn’t say much, you never really had to, I could see all the things this world had done to you. You were just a boy when the world fell apart, But somehow you still carried a beautiful heart. And when you looked at me, I forgot where we were, For a moment, there was nothing but you and me there. I know we’re running out of time, I know tomorrow isn’t promised. But if I have tonight with you, I don’t need anything else. So hold me like the world is ending, Like we’re the only ones left alive. Kiss me underneath the broken sky, And tell me you’ll stay by my side. If the dead come knocking at our door, I’ll still choose you like I did before. And if we don’t make it through the night, At least I got to love you Before the world said goodbye. You tell me not to follow when it gets dangerous, But you know I’d never leave you here alone. I’ve seen the fear hiding behind your eyes, And I’d rather face it with you than survive on my own. Sometimes you smile and you look like a kid, And I wonder how the world ever made you like this. You deserve summer days and a life without guns, Not counting every bullet, not running from everyone. And I know you’re scared, Even when you don’t show it. So let me be the person Who reminds you that you’re not alone. So hold me like the world is ending, Like we’re the only ones left alive. Kiss me underneath the broken sky, And tell me you’ll stay by my side. If the dead come knocking at our door, I’ll still choose you like I did before. And if we don’t make it through the night, At least I got to love you Before the world said goodbye. Carl, if tomorrow takes you from me, I’ll carry your voice wherever I go. Every little laugh, every stupid joke, Every “be careful” before you let me go. And if there’s another life somewhere, Where the streets aren’t covered in blood, I hope I find you there again, Before the world ever took us from us. So hold me like the world is ending, Don’t let go, not tonight. Even if morning never comes, I’ll stay right here by your side. You don’t have to be fearless, You don’t have to pretend you’re strong. Just let me love you for a while, Before we have to move along. So hold me like the world is ending, Like we’re the only ones left alive. Kiss me underneath the broken sky, And tell me you’ll stay by my side. And if the world takes everything we know, I’ll still be grateful that I got to know The boy behind the bravery, The heart beneath the scars. If the world ends tonight, I’ll find you in the dark. And if all we have is one more night… I’ll spend every second holding you tight.
