[Verse 1]
The siren screamed through the tower wall
One hand reached, one world would fall
Her name on my tongue like a blade
The clock in my chest started to fade
I saw the streets, the docks, the kids
The roofs gone black where the thunder hit
And there she stood, with those eyes so bright
Like the last warm spark in a dead-of-night
[Pre-Chorus]
I clenched my fists till the veins went white
I begged the dark for a smaller fight
Take my pride
Take my skin
Tell me how to let both live
[Chorus]
I can't let go
I can't choose
I won't lose you
I won't lose you
Save the heart
Save the home
Give me one road
Make it both
[Verse 2]
I split in two in the shattered glass
One half runs forward, one half holds back
My shadow said, "Be a hero, son"
My blood said, "Don't let her be the one"
The whole sky shook with a low red roar
I heard the crowd at the platform door
"Pick now," the wind said, "pick and pay"
So I spat in fate and I looked away
[Pre-Chorus]
I bared my soul to the iron rain
I took the hurt and I took the blame
If I break
If I bend
Let my broken hands begin
[Chorus]
I can't let go
I can't choose
I won't lose you
I won't lose you
Save the heart
Save the home
Give me one road
Make it both
[Bridge]
Then I saw it clear in the flashing cold
A bridge of fire where the weak could hold
One brave leap and the beams aligned
One secret path through the fault-line sky
So I struck that wall with all I had
Turned the fear to a thunderclap
Pulled her close and I drove it through
One impossible thing became two
[Final Chorus]
I can't let go
I can't choose
I won't lose you
I won't lose you
Save the heart
Save the home
Give me one road
Make it both
Save the heart
Save the home
I found one road
And made it both
