[Verse 1]
I saw the sky crack gold
Over the loading bay
Your face in the window glass
Like a code I couldn’t save
Ash on the escalator
Rain in the train trench
You said, “Hold my hand right now”
Then the whole frame bent
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the cracks
Count to three
One for you
Two for me
The horizon folds
Like paper
And I hear your name
Getting louder
[Chorus]
At dawn, the end of the world
At dawn, the end of the world
Hold me close, don’t let go
When the bright light turns cold
At dawn, the end of the world
At dawn, the end of the world
We still dance in the fall
We still burn, that’s all
[Verse 2]
Parking lot sirens bloom
On a dead-end street
Chrome on the chain-link fence
Flickers like a heartbeat
Your laugh cuts through the smoke
Sharp as broken glass
I pocketed one small hope
And I wore it like a badge
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the cracks
Count to three
One for you
Two for me
The horizon folds
Like paper
And I hear your name
Getting louder
[Chorus]
At dawn, the end of the world
At dawn, the end of the world
Hold me close, don’t let go
When the bright light turns cold
At dawn, the end of the world
At dawn, the end of the world
We still dance in the fall
We still burn, that’s all
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
If the roof comes down
We go down singing
If the floor gives way
We keep on swinging
All the ruined signs
All the red alarms
Can’t erase the way
You fit in my arms
[Final Chorus]
At dawn, the end of the world
At dawn, the end of the world
Hold me close, don’t let go
When the bright light turns cold
At dawn, the end of the world
At dawn, the end of the world
We still dance in the fall
We still burn, that’s all
