How are you, baby?
Tell me the truth
What keeps us still
On a loop?
What could inspire
Push through the fear
Holding us back every year?

Who holds the knife?
Whose blood will fall?
How do they choose?
Who makes the call?
Well, I'm here with you
And I'll keep hanging on
I'll be the moor
I'll keep us strong

Here in this dying world
You are the light, and I bathe in its burn
Let's stay awake
Too scared to sleep
Unless I'm beside you
There'll be no dreaming
Unless I'm beside you

We gave things time
There's none left to give
It's nearer to the end that we most want to live
The courage to act
A nerve to fight
Sits in the pit of my stomach tonight

So I could be hard or I could be sweet
Just tell me the version you're needing of me
When will it stop?
Where's the all clear?
Darling, I'll never quit holding you

Here in this dying world
You are the light, and I bathe in its burn
Got nowhere to go, no one to be
Unless I'm beside you, there is no meaning
Unless I'm beside you

We gave things time
Tell me the truth
Unless I'm beside you, there'll be no dreaming
I could be hard, could be sweet

Here in this dying world
You are the light, and I bathe in its burn
Let's stay awake
Too scared to sleep
Unless I'm beside you
