[Verse 1]
[M]
I left your ring on the sill
Beside the cracked blue cup
Rain hit the train yard hard
And still I did not wake up
Your name on my tongue like ash
My coat still smells like smoke
I heard the church bell fall
When your last letter spoke
[Verse 2]
[F]
I kept your scarf in the drawer
Soft as a winter prayer
I lit the lamp at dusk
And found you waiting there
Your shadow leaned on the wall
Then vanished in the glass
I reached for your steady hand
And touched the years we passed
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
If the night comes down
Let it come for me
[F]
If you call me now
I will answer, free
[M]
Take the broken road
[F]
Take the fire with me
[BOTH]
We were made for this
We were made to break and breathe
[Chorus]
[BOTH]
Hold me under
Hold me high
Hold me closer
Through the sky
(hold me, hold me)
We won't fade
We won't die
Hold me under
Hold me high
[Verse 3]
[M]
I stood where the river turns
Cold as a blade of ice
I heard our old vows rise
From the stones and the white frost
[F]
I walked through the orchard gates
Past the blackened trees
Saw your hand in the wind
And your face in the leaves
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
If the night comes down
Let it come for me
[F]
If you call me now
I will answer, free
[M]
Take the broken road
[F]
Take the fire with me
[BOTH]
We were made for this
We were made to break and breathe
[Chorus]
[BOTH]
Hold me under
Hold me high
Hold me closer
Through the sky
(hold me, hold me)
We won't fade
We won't die
Hold me under
Hold me high
[Bridge]
[F]
When the thunder splits the stone
I'll be the light you knew
[M]
When the world forgets our names
I'll sing them back to you
[BOTH]
One last vow
One last flame
We rise again
We rise again
[Final Chorus]
[BOTH]
Hold me under
Hold me high
Hold me closer
Through the sky
(hold me, hold me)
We won't fade
We won't die
Hold me under
Hold me high
