[Verse 1]
[Male]
Boots on the tarmac
Sky like steel
Your picture in my pocket
Last thing real
Every border
Every blackened shore
I’d burn the world to break this war
[Female]
Your shadow on the bedroom wall
Maps and letters on the floor
I trace it all
I stitch your name into my sleeve
Swear to every star you’ll come back to me
[Chorus]
[Both]
I would cross all nations
All oceans
For you
Tear through the thunder
The smoke
The untrue
You hold the line at home while I bleed through the night
Two war-torn hearts
Still beating in the same fight
[Verse 2]
[Male]
Sirens in the distance
Sand in my teeth
I taste the fear
Then I hear you breathe
In every blast
I hear you call
Your voice
My armor when I crawl
[Female]
I’m screaming at the headlines
Fists on glass
Counting every hour
Making minutes last
I stand my ground when the voices say
“He won’t return” — I drive them away (get out)
[Chorus]
[Both]
I would cross all nations
All oceans
For you
Tear through the thunder
The smoke
The untrue
You hold the line at home while I bleed through the night
Two war-torn hearts
Still beating in the same fight
[Bridge]
[Male]
If I fall in the fire
Remember my name
[Female]
I’ll turn every tear to unbreakable flame
[Male]
If the sky comes down and the radios die
[Female]
I’ll light up the dark
Be your signal in the sky
[Chorus]
[Both]
I would cross all nations
All oceans
For you (for you)
Tear through the thunder
The smoke
The untrue
You hold the line at home while I bleed through the night
Two war-torn hearts
Still beating in the same fight
[Outro]
[Both]
Hold strong
Hold fast
Till the war
Is past
[Male]
When I’m home
I swear I’ll never let go
[Female]
You fought the world
[Both]
So our love could grow
