[Verse 1] The sky went gray at noon The birds all turned away You held my hand so hard Like you could make it stay The sirens filled the block The windows started to shake You said, "Don't let me go" When the ground began to break [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it in your face You already knew If this is the end Then I'm ending here with you [Chorus] Hold me in the fallout Hold me till the sky falls down (hold me now) If the world goes under I still want your hand around Hold me in the fallout Let the flames forget my name (our last light) If it's all over I'll love you through the rain [Verse 2] The ocean climbed the docks The power lines went dark Your dress was torn and red From climbing through the sparks We laughed like broken kids At the edge of a fire door You kissed me like you knew We wouldn't need much more [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it in your face You already knew If this is the end Then I'm ending here with you [Chorus] Hold me in the fallout Hold me till the sky falls down (hold me now) If the world goes under I still want your hand around Hold me in the fallout Let the flames forget my name (our last light) If it's all over I'll love you through the rain [Bridge] So take my coat of fear Take my last clean breath I'll trade tomorrow's ghost For one more second left You press your forehead close I hear your shaky "stay" And even if the stars All burn and slip away [Final Chorus] Hold me in the fallout Hold me till the sky falls down (hold me now) If the world goes under I still want your hand around Hold me in the fallout Let the flames forget my name (our last light) If it's all over I'll love you through the rain Hold me in the fallout When the whole world fades to black (one more time) If I can't save forever I'll still call your love back
