Sitting unscathed on a pile of ash

She just smiled and put out the last flare on her dress

I surely thought we’d be burnt like the rest

Could it be that we’re next

Or the only thing left?

I’ve watched every tragedy, waiting my turn

Now I’m wasting my courage just fearing the worst

Cause you stood and held me as everything burned

Now I’m one day removed from the worst day on earth

So take both my hands

Spin me around

I’m real in your arms

That’s enough for right now

We’ve been through the past

We’re still here somehow

You made it all real

When you said it out loud

We turned and we walked toward the chirp of the birds

As a droplet of rain found a home in the dirt

Oh, life tried to teach me it only gets worse

But I met you just after the end of the world

There’s spring in the distance, our backs to the smoke

My soul stirs so gently, it blends in with yours

We stood here together while everything burned

Now we’re one day removed from the worst day on earth

So take both my hands

Spin me around

I’m real in your arms

That’s enough for right now

We’ve been through the past

We’re still here somehow

You made it all real

When you said it out loud

I don’t care if we’re next in the morning

Or the only thing left in the room

I finally trust that you love me

And I finally think I love you

I don’t care if we’re next in the morning

Or the only thing left in the room

I finally trust that you love me

And I finally think I love you

So give me your hands

I’ll spin you around

You’re real in my arms

I won’t put you back down

We’ve been through the past

We’re still here somehow

We make this all real

When we say it out loud
