[Verse 1]
You came to me in rain
With moonlight on your face
I kept my arrow still
You held your truth in place
We were two broken vows
On opposite sides of fate
Still your name in my hands
Would not dissolve with hate
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew your eyes before
I knew the world could burn
And every step away
Was one more wound to learn
[Chorus]
Inuyasha, come close
Kikyo, don’t let go
We were born for this ache
We were taught to let it show
Inuyasha, come close
Kikyo, don’t let go
Love stayed on the blade
Then fell into the snow
[Verse 2]
I watched the years go thin
Like paper in a flame
You reached through every life
And never said my name
I carried sacred smoke
You carried guilty breath
We kissed like final rites
And stood beside the dead
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could turn one dawn
And keep your hands in mine
I’d trade the coming war
For one more borrowed time
[Chorus]
Inuyasha, come close
Kikyo, don’t let go
We were born for this ache
We were taught to let it show
Inuyasha, come close
Kikyo, don’t let go
Love stayed on the blade
Then fell into the snow
[Bridge]
Now I hear your footsteps
In the chapel of my chest
A half-spoken promise
A prayer I never rest
If heaven keeps score
Then let it take the wound
I only wanted you
The way the dusk wants moon
[Final Chorus]
Inuyasha, come close
Kikyo, don’t let go
We were born for this ache
We were taught to let it show
Inuyasha, come close
Kikyo, don’t let go
Even in our sorrow
I would choose you every time
[Outro]
Choose you every time
Choose you every time
