[Verse 1]
Hello reaper, have we met?
Still so many things I haven't said
Hello darkness, you’re here again
Last I saw you, I was tangled in my head
Hello sadness, are you here to stay?
Right when things were finally going my way
I met this angel
She taught me to fly
Yeah, she showed me all the colors of the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
So please don't take her away
But if you do
I'm just skin and bones, I know that there’s room
[Chorus]
When the man in black
Comes to cash his check
And you're holding on to your final breath
When you walk out the door
Know that I will too
I hope they build coffins for two
[Verse 2]
When I was younger, I used to pray
That my life was more than the sum of my mistakes
And now you're here, dressed in white
I guess he heard my voice on all those lonely nights
Now we're older
But you look brand new
Everyday I'm falling more in love with you
When you're tired and your eyes close
You won't have to take your final walk alone
[Pre-Chorus]
So if forever leaves too soon
Only skin and bones, I know that there's room
[Chorus]
When the man in black
Comes to cash his check
And you’re holding on to your final breath
When you walk out the door
Know that I will too
I hope they build coffins for two
[Bridge]
I’m never leaving you
Coffins for two
I'm never leaving you
[Chorus]
When the man in black
Comes to cash his check
And you’re holding on to your final breath
When you walk out the door
Know that I will too
I hope they build coffins for two
I hope they build coffins for two
