As Long as It Ends with You lyrics

The sky split open just past noon Glass fell like rain on the avenue The birds were first to disappear Then the water rose and swallowed everything here You held my hand like something sacred Like one more touch could somehow save us I tried to laugh, said, "Well, this is it" You pulled me close and kissed my lips [Pre-Chorus] Let the ground give way Let the daylight pass If this is all we have Then let this moment last As long as it ends with you As long as it ends with you I can face the final night I can see the whole thing through I don't need forever I don't need another dawn Just your fingers wrapped in mine When the final light is gone As long as it ends with you The sirens faded before dawn The last transmission flickered off The moon hung low, a wounded red Like a bruise above our heads We shared the last warm drink we had From that chipped blue cup you always kept You laughed as the screen went black Said, "There's nothing I'd take back" Let the stars burn out Let the streets turn white I've spent my life looking for home And I've been home all night [Chorus] As long as it ends with you As long as it ends with you I can face the final night I can see the whole thing through I don't need forever I don't need another dawn Just your fingers wrapped in mine When the final light is gone As long as it ends with you [Bridge – Soft, building into a powerful vocal climax] So let the last light fade Let the walls all shake There's nothing left to lose There's nothing left to chase All the years I spent Afraid of losing time Now the world is disappearing And I'm grateful you are mine No more running now No more asking why If your face is the last thing I see I can close my eyes [Final Chorus – Full band, soaring harmonies] As long as it ends with you As long as it ends with you Let the heavens fall apart Let the stars come crashing through I don't need forever I don't need another dawn If the whole world disappears Our love is never gone As long as it ends with you As long as it ends with you [Outro – Intimate, almost whispered] The sky went quiet The world stood still You held my hand And I held yours And if this is the ending Then I wouldn't change a thing As long as it ends with you.
