[Intro]
Static sky
Warning lights
You and I
End of time (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Floatin’ in the hallway, boots on steel
Earth just a pixel, can’t be real
Coffee gone cold in a metal cup
Countdown quiet, like it finally gave up
Your silhouette, silver skin in the glass
Four black eyes seein’ straight through the past
You tap the window, pointin’ at the gray
Our star lookin’ sick, startin’ to slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me, “Is this how it ends?”
I laugh once, “Guess we watch it, friend”
Two ghosts in a rusted hotel
Holdin’ on while the fire turns pale
[Chorus]
We watch the sun stop burnin’
Golden all gone, it’s turnin’
Dyin’ light on our faces
Fade out, fade out, changin’
If this is all we get tonight
Hold my hand in the quiet white
Lone astronaut with an alien soul
Staring down a star that’s lettin’ go
[Verse 2]
I drift past photos taped to the wall
Smiles from a planet I barely recall
You hum a color I don’t understand
Lay that strange blue palm in my hand
Sirens in the distance, then they drown
In the thick dark syrup comin’ down
You speak a name that I can’t pronounce
I give you mine, like it still counts
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me, “Do you wish you were home?”
I tell you, “Home’s just where you’re not alone”
Two dots in a dead black sea
Last bright thing is you next to me
[Chorus]
We watch the sun stop burnin’
Golden all gone, it’s turnin’
Dyin’ light on our faces
Fade out, fade out, changin’
If this is all we get tonight
Hold my hand in the quiet white
Lone astronaut with an alien soul
Staring down a star that’s lettin’ go
[Bridge]
[Beat drops, synths swell]
If the sky goes blank, if the codes all fail (yeah)
If the ship falls still on a frozen rail
If tomorrow’s just a broken file
Stay right here in this failing smile
(Oh) write our names on the frosted glass
(Oh) let the glow paint a photograph
(Oh) every world we will never know
In this last soft flicker of gold
[Chorus]
We watch the sun stop burnin’
Golden all gone, it’s turnin’
Dyin’ light on our faces
Fade out, fade out, changin’
If this is all we get tonight
Hold my hand in the quiet white
Lone astronaut with an alien soul
Staring down a star that’s lettin’ go
[Outro]
Last bright line
Across your eyes
Dark comes slow
We don’t hide (nah)
Two small sparks
Where a sun once lived
End of light
But we still give
