“Final Days” is a love song. Lyrically, it is about loving someone so much that you’d spend your final days with them. Sonically, it is an alternative folk song with rock and indie influences.
[Verse 1]
It's been a while
We've walked for miles
Living free
From reality
The darkest haze
Beneath the rays
[Chorus]
And I will walk these final days upon the earth with you
I walk these final days upon the earth with you
[Verse 2]
I'm positive
We learn to give
With bread and wine
We crossed the line
The candle burns
For no return
[Chorus]
And I will walk these final days upon the earth with you
I walk these final days upon the earth with you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
The sun will shine
The cold won't mind
The ocean's warm
We'll bear the storm
Electric clouds
Are singing loud
[Chorus]
That I will walk these final days upon the earth with you
I walk these final days upon the earth with you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Mercury
Deep blue sea
I'm still alive
The meek survive
At glacial pace
We ran the race
We lost the sense
Of our intelligence
[Chorus]
But I will walk these final days upon the earth with you
I'll walk these final days upon the earth with you
[Outro]
And I will cast one final gaze upon the earth with you
