[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)

Epic alt-rock ballad with male vocals, cinematic build. Intimate intro of solo cello and soft drums; verse layers violin and low bagpipes in a slow dirge pulse. Chorus explodes with wide, distorted guitars doubling the strings, tom-heavy drums, and soaring vocal. Middle section pivots to a fast, folk-inflected break with driving bagpipes and drums, then slams back into a massive final chorus with stacked harmonies and a cello-led outro., violin, slow, cello
