[Verse 1]
Empty streets
Shopping carts and shattered glass
Counting cans
Chalk marks where the bodies passed
Then you ran
Out from smoke and siren haze
Baseball bat
Stain of red on your sleeve
Your face
You laughed first
Said
"Guess we’re the lucky ones"
My hands shook
You fixed the strap on my gun
Two stray hearts
In a dead world gone wrong
Breathing hard
But somehow we felt young
[Chorus]
We found love in a dead world
Baby
Stumbling into something worth the fight
Holding on while everything’s going crazy
Kissing in the glow of a burning sky
If this is all that we get lately
I’ll trade every day I had before tonight
We found love in a dead world
Baby
So I’m not letting go
Not tonight
[Verse 2]
Rooftop camp
Barricade of kitchen chairs
Quiet plans
Drawing routes in your tangled hair
You said
"If
We make spring
I’ll dye it blue"
Talked like that
Like there’d still be summer for us two
Then they came
Hands on fire
Teeth on steel
Not the dead
But the ones who forgot how to feel
Took our map
Took the keys
Took half our food
Left their mark
Spray paint running
Bright and crude
[Chorus]
We found love in a dead world
Baby
Stumbling into something worth the fight
Holding on while everything’s going crazy
Kissing in the glow of a burning sky
If this is all that we get lately
I’ll trade every day I had before tonight
We found love in a dead world
Baby
So I’m not letting go
Not tonight
[Bridge]
Radio static
Your name in my mouth (oh)
Flare in the dark
I will track you down
If they drag you east
I’ll burn the whole town
I swear
I swear
Moon on the blood and the broken glass
Every bad memory fades so fast
When I see your face in a cracked-out mask
You’re there
You’re there (you’re there)
[Chorus]
We found love in a dead world
Baby
Thunder in my chest when I see your eyes
Every road is ruined
Every border’s crazy
But I will walk them all till our hands align
If this is all that we get lately
I’ll trade every breath I have left in this life
We found love in a dead world
Baby
So I’m not letting go
Not tonight (not tonight)
