[Verse 1]
There's nothing left to stop it
How long we knew?
Seems we brought some trouble with us how we wanted
Mr. Credit is dead and buried
Farewell
It's all a part of the game
[Chorus]
I wanna be there when you touch fire
I'll be the hand that you can clutch
[Verse 2]
I had a dream
That the ground was black
And the air was searing
Oh, no
The heavens are backing the sea
Are they backing me?
The roads are just scratches
The talk is sevеre
That's how it works
It's all impossibly cold
[Chorus]
I wanna be therе when you touch fire
I'll be the hand to pull you up, tiger
I wanna be there when you cut the wire
I'm the living end, I plead as such
[Bridge]
I saw you when you gave me chase
I followed when you hit the ground
It's cloudy when I come to Vegas
I saw you when you gave me chase
I followed when you hit the ground
It's cloudy when I come to Vegas
It's a small town anyway
Fire
[Chorus]
I'll be the hand to lift you up higher
I wanna be there when you cut the wire
I wanna be there when you touch fire
I'm the living end, I plead as such
I'm the living end
I'm the living end, I plead as such
I'm the living end
I wanna be there when you touch

It’s a fever dream about relationships and power dynamics. That one is odd. The first-person character is not to be trusted in that song.
