[Intro]
Wake up in a war I can't remember
Ash on my uniform sleeve
Names on my arm like glowing embers
Every step, someone leaves
[Verse 1]
Classroom desk, carved dates and halos
Laughing ghosts in the back row seats
Mirror shows two eyes, four shadows
Heartbeat marching on two beats
I got scars I don't recall earning
Photos where I don't exist
Say a joke, feel the cold returning
Half this room I kinda miss
[Chorus]
We’re the ones between the living and the dead
Shouting out the names they said were gone forever
If you fade, I’ll carry every word you left
Tattooed in my veins like a final letter
If the sky falls down, we won’t bow our heads
We turn every loss to a crimson feather
We’re the ones between the living and the dead
Living out your dreams
So we stay together (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Night train, all the windows flicker
See you waving in each pane
Blink once, every station quicker
Blink twice, I forget your face
I’m a promise wrapped in armor
I’m a maybe turned to must
Every time my body gets farther
You’re the fire in the dust
[Chorus]
We’re the ones between the living and the dead
Shouting out the names they said were gone forever
If you fade, I’ll carry every word you left
Tattooed in my veins like a final letter
If the sky falls down, we won’t bow our heads
We turn every loss to a crimson feather
We’re the ones between the living and the dead
Living out your dreams
So we stay together
[Bridge]
If I fall right here
Will you pull me through?
If I disappear
Will I still be you?
[Chorus]
We’re the ones between the living and the dead
Shouting out the names they said were gone forever
If you fade, I’ll carry every word you left
Tattooed in my veins like a final letter
If the sky falls down, we won’t bow our heads
We turn every loss to a crimson feather
We’re the ones between the living and the dead
Living out your dreams
Now and always
Together (woah)
