lyrics

In the weeks since we first saw them
walking t’ward our neighborhood
through the flowers we’d just planted
to the ground our neighbors stood
I now know what they wanted
And now I understand
the end had just been started
the end of modern man

But we’re in this thing together
and there’s nothing we can do
so we’ll run until it’s over
til it’s only me and you
I will hold your hand forever
I will kiss your dirty face
til we run into the ocean
Til we leave this bitter place

as I slowly raise my rifle
with a monster in my sights
and I’m counting over thirty
but my bullets total nine
so we run across the river
and into the trees we climb
I laugh to keep from crying
cause we’re running out of time

But we’re in this thing together
and there’s nothing we can do
so we’ll run until it’s over
til it’s only me and you
I will hold your hand forever
I will kiss your dirty face
til we run into the ocean
Til we leave this bitter place

If we Just lie still
If we breathe just right
They won't hear our hearts
Beat together tonight
Just one last kiss
Then we'll close our eyes
And we'll dream we're somewhere safe
In our arms tonight

But we’re in this thing together
and there’s nothing we can do
so we’ll run until it’s over
til it’s only me and you
I will hold your hand forever
I will kiss your dirty face
til we run into the ocean
Til we leave this bitter place
