I Won’t Be with You

[Verse 1]
No longer, no longer
The nights will pass
Take a bow, we’re invincible now
We’re alone at last

We drove out to the edge of town
(And we waited)
Slowly falling, fading out
(And we waited)
Hoping that each breath was a sign
We were alive, not we were mortal

[Pre-Chorus]
And you fade out
And you fade out
From the foreground
From the foreground
And you fade out
And you fade out
And we’re safe now
And we’re safe now
And we’re safe now

[Chorus 1]
There was something in the air that
None of us could understand
And you were everything I’ve ever wanted
Held in my hand
I was lost, I was loving it
The world was on our side
And I swear that I still feel it
Where I used to be alive

And we were halfway up the hill
When you said to me “when we die
This perfect moment leaves with us
It’s only seen through our eyes
So we are unique in the universe
For this one second of time”
And I swear that I still hear your voice
When searching in the night

[Verse 2]
And Ryn was there I think but she was sleeping
I remember how you
Laughed at my attempts to undermine animalistic instinct
“It’s instinct that keeps us alive”
Philosophise under starlit skies
We’re purity

And though longer we wait here
The nights still pass
“And as the years go by
Though I’ll be in your heart”
She said “I won’t be with you then”
And I said “That’s a start”

[Chorus 2]
And there was something in the air that
Only we could understand
And you were lost and I was broken
And we tore up all our plans
“Cause we are unique in the universe”
And I think I might have cried
And you said “isn't that just beautiful?
For a moment we're alive”

And I was half the man I thought I was
And you were half the girl
We were fighting our war
It was us against the world
And when it all comes crashing down
I know just where I wanna be
In your arms, in your bittersweet company

[Outro]
