[Verse 1]
We dance in the skeleton city
Glass in the cracks of our shoes
Posters of faces all curling
Names that we’ll never use
Glow paint on rusted car doors
Laughing like nothing is wrong
You pull me up on the table
Say
“Tonight’s not very long” (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Sirens in the distance
Like somebody else’s dream
We’re kissing in the half-light
Like it’s 2019
[Chorus]
Glow in the fallout
Spinning in a broken world
We’re the little lights that won’t burn out
Two last sparks in the swirl
Count down the seconds
Dance like we can’t look back
If tomorrow never finds us
We were here
We were here in the blast
[Verse 2]
Billboard of “HAPPY TOMORROW”
Flickers in radioactive pink
We toast with cracked-shot glasses
Warm canned strawberry drink
You trace a map on my shoulder
Of cities that used to be
Say
“Maybe the end of the world
Is where I was meant to meet you
See?”
[Pre-Chorus]
Ash falls like confetti
On this concrete masquerade
Your heartbeat under my hand
Louder than the mess we made
[Chorus]
Glow in the fallout
Spinning in a broken world
We’re the little lights that won’t burn out
Two last sparks in the swirl
Count down the seconds
Dance like we can’t look back
If tomorrow never finds us
We were here
We were here in the blast
[Bridge]
Do you ever think of them?
Kids with their paper planes
Clouds that were just clouds
Skies that forgot our names
You say
“We’re still a story
Even if the book burns through”
So I write my name in the dust
Right next to yours
Right next to you (oh)
[Chorus]
Glow in the fallout
Spinning in a broken world
We’re the little lights that won’t burn out
Two last sparks in the swirl
Count down the seconds
Dance like we can’t look back
If tomorrow never finds us
We were here
We were here in the blast
[Outro]
Glow in the fallout
One more spin
One more laugh
If the future never finds us
We were here in the blast
