[Intro]
You came down screaming
Across my quiet sky
Tore through the breathing
I never asked why
[Verse 1]
You hit like summer
In the dead of my year
Every fear on the mantle
Shook loose when you appeared
Coffee cup spilling
As you laughed at the mess
Ash on my carpet
Meteor through my chest
[Chorus]
You’re a meteor ripping through my life
Set my safe little world on fire
Every scar in the dirt starts to shine
When you crash into the wires of my mind
If it all burns down
I’m staying
In the wreckage with you
I’m praying
Let it fall
Let it fall from the heights
You’re a meteor ripping through my life
[Verse 2]
We stand on the hillside
Watch the mountain glow
All that buried anger
Breaking into flow
You take my shaking hand
Say
“Let it all go”
Forest turns to cinder
Then something starts to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Smoke in our lungs
But your eyes are clear
I lost my map
But I’m still right here
[Chorus]
You’re a meteor ripping through my life
Set my safe little world on fire
Every scar in the dirt starts to shine
When you crash into the wires of my mind
If it all burns down
I’m staying
In the wreckage with you
I’m praying
Let it fall
Let it fall from the heights
You’re a meteor ripping through my life
[Bridge]
[Cello and violin swell
Slow bagpipes enter]
The ground shakes
We don’t run
We count quakes
One by one
You kiss me
While it breaks
In the red rain
Love remakes
Green in the black stone
Roots in the cooled glass
We learn a new home
Where the molten days pass
You carve your name
In the trunk that survived
Say
“If this is the end
It’s the best of my life” (oh)
[Bagpipes and drums shift into fast
Driving rhythm]
[Bridge 2]
Heart like a landslide
Falling into you
Stumbling
Laughing
Covered in the new
Every shattered piece
Turns into a seed
Every broken “never”
Becomes a living “need”
[Chorus]
You’re a meteor ripping through my life
Set my safe little world on fire
Every scar in the dirt starts to shine
When you crash into the wires of my mind
If it all burns down
I’m staying
In the wreckage with you
I’m praying
Let it fall
Let it fall from the heights
You’re a meteor ripping through my life
[Outro]
[Band drops
Strings and slow bagpipes carry]
Volcano in my ribcage
Crater where I bled
But flowers keep on climbing
Around the words you said
If this is devastation
I don’t want escape
Hold me in the firelight
Till the new worlds take (yeah)
