[Verse 1]
There's no conversation
There's nothing to say that'll take us back
There's no way to change it
No, we'll never salvage the plans we had
But I can't explain it
I can't let you go, will you hold my hand
I know I look crazy, oh
But give me a moment, I'll make it last
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna go this alone, you're my everything
Yeah, you're the rush in my blood, my adrenaline
I still wanna fight, don't want us to die
'Cause to me, you're more than a memory
[Chorus]
Can we lay here? Tell me we can stay here
Like we're gonna make it all the way through the night, whoa
Can we lay here? Pray the walls won't cave in
But if we don't save it and don't make it out alive, at least I'll be by your side
At least I'll be by your side
[Verse 2]
I know you feel helpless
But we'll never know if we never try
'Cause even if it all burns down and we drown
I need to know that I've still got you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna go this alone, you're my everything
Yeah, you're the rush in my blood, my adrenaline
I still wanna fight, don't want us to die
'Cause to me, you're more than a memory
[Chorus]
Can we lay here? Tell me we can stay here
Like we're gonna make it all the way through the night, whoa
Can we lay here? Pray the walls won't cave in
But if we don't save it and don't make it out alive, at least I'll be by your side
At least I'll be by your side, oh-oh
[Bridge]
I know it's getting so hard to breathe
Whatever happens, keep hold of me
I don't believe that what's meant to be will be
So pull me in so close while we both finally close our eyes (Our eyes)
[Chorus]
Can we lay here? Tell me we can stay here
Like we're gonna make it (Make it) all the way through the night, whoa
(Tell me, baby, can we—) Can we lay here? Pray the walls won't cave in
But if we don't save it and don't make it out alive, at least I'll be by your side
