Verse 1
We were holy in the headlights
Dirty prayers on your tongue
You said love was a loaded gun
But you still pointed it at us
I wore heaven like a cheap dress
You wore trouble like a crown
We made vows in motel mirrors
Swore we’d never slow it down
Pre-Chorus
You kissed me like a goodbye
Before I even knew your name
I should’ve known forever
Always comes wrapped in pain
Chorus
Hold me like the world is ending
Like we don’t get out alive
If this love is just a memory
Then let it burn me tonight
Under blue neon mercy
Where the angels never stay
I’ll love you slow and hopeless
Till it all fades away
Verse 2
You talked big about escape plans
California in your eyes
Said the coast would save our souls
But the ocean only lies
I played house with your bad habits
Called it romance, called it fate
I learned love is just a waiting room
For hearts that leave too late
Pre-Chorus
You said I was your religion
Then you sinned and walked away
Left me praying to the silence
Like it ever heard a thing I say
Chorus
Hold me like the world is ending
Like we don’t get out alive
If this love is just a memory
Then let it ruin me tonight
Under blue neon mercy
Where the saints all lose their way
I’ll love you sad and endless
Till it all fades away
Bridge (dreamlike, whispered)
If I die young, bury me
In the place we almost were
Write my name in gasoline
Light a match, let it hurt
You were never mine to keep
I was just your summer sin
But I’d do it all again
Just to feel you once again
Final Chorus
Hold me like I’m heaven-sent
Like I’m everything you need
If this love was just a moment
It was holy to me
Under blue neon mercy
Where my heart still calls your name
I’ll love you lost and slowly
Till I fade away
Outro
So here’s to us, the almost ones
The beautiful mistakes
I’ll see you in another life
Where love doesn’t break
AURVIA
