[Verse 1]
Sand in my teeth
Gun oil on my hands
You walked through the smoke
Laughing at the sirens
Lipstick on my dog tags
Candy in your cheek
You carved a heart on my helmet
Said
"C’mon
Let’s watch it leak" (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
If the world’s gonna burn
I wanna watch it with you
Boot prints in the ashes
Red smile on my ruined tattoo
I was made to save
You were born to break through
If the world’s gonna burn
I wanna burn it with you
[Verse 2]
You drew a face on my rifle
Gave it your last name
We kissed behind the barracks
While the skyline went up in flames
You said
"Aren’t you supposed to stop this?"
I said
"I’m supposed to shoot"
You climbed right into my chaos
Kicked my conscience from its roof (hey!)
[Chorus]
If the world’s gonna burn
I wanna watch it with you
Boot prints in the ashes
Red smile on my ruined tattoo
I was made to save
You were born to break through
If the world’s gonna burn
I wanna burn it with you
[Bridge]
We dance in the crater
Sirens singing off-key
You trace hearts in the cinders
Say
"Baby
They were never free"
I drop my medals in the fire
They curl
They crack
They glow
You whisper
"Aren’t regrets pretty?"
I say
"Not as pretty as you
Though" (mmm)
[Chorus]
If the world’s gonna burn
I wanna watch it with you
Boot prints in the ashes
Red smile on my ruined tattoo
I was made to save
You were born to break through
If the world’s gonna burn
Let it all
Let it all
Let it all
Burn for me and you
