When It All Comes Down

[Verse 1]
If the sky goes strange
If the power dies
You can call my name
You will hear reply
Got a bag by the door
Got a plan in my head
But the real preparation
Is the words I said
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't own your heart
I don't get that choice
But I still stand guard
At the sound of your voice
[Chorus]
If it all goes dark, I’ll light your way
If the ground gives out, I’ll help you stay
You don’t have to want me
You just have to call me
When it all comes down, I won’t let go
When the sirens fade, I’ll take you home
I promised I’d be there
I meant it, I’ll be there (oh I’ll be there)
[Verse 2]
You laugh it off, say
"Don’t be so extreme"
But I map the roads
In the back of my dreams
I’ve rehearsed your fear
Every worst-case scene
How to hold your hand
How to keep you breathing
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't say my name
Like it’s something more
But I’ve carved that vow
Deep into my core
[Chorus]
If it all goes dark, I’ll light your way
If the ground gives out, I’ll help you stay
You don’t have to want me
You just have to call me
When it all comes down, I won’t let go
When the sirens fade, I’ll take you home
I promised I’d be there
I meant it, I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
[Bridge]
Maybe you’ll run to somebody else’s arms
Maybe you’ll hide alone, shaking in the dark
But I’ll keep a place for you
Blanket and a space for you
Even if your eyes never look my way
I’ll be on that road, driving through the flames (hey)
[Chorus]
If it all goes dark, I’ll light your way
If the ground gives out, I’ll help you stay
You don’t have to love me
To know you can trust me
When it all comes down, I’ll take your hand
When the world falls through, I’ll help you stand
I promised I’d be there
I’m right here, I’ll be there
When it all comes down
I’ll be there, I’ll be there (oh I’ll be there)

Verses stay intimate and hushed; pre-chorus adds subtle toms and rising synth swells; chorus opens with wide stacked harmonies, a steady kick, and reverb-kissed guitar. Final chorus strips to almost a cappella, then blooms back with soaring ad-libs and cymbal wash for an emotional peak., harmony, female vocals
