[Verse 1: Male] Sky’s on fire News says time’s up soon Clock hands tremble I just stare at your room Everyone’s praying I’m replaying your name If this is the last night I’m not begging you to stay [Verse 1: Female] Phone keeps buzzing I won’t pick it up Got your sweater on my chair And your ring in a cup I could run to your door But I’m frozen in fear If I can’t be your always I won’t fake it for the end, my dear [Pre-Chorus: Both] We had chances We burned bridges We drew hearts Then cut the hinges Still I feel you In my ribs like truth But if I can’t walk forever Then I won’t crawl to you [Chorus: Both] If the world is ending And it’s not you in my arms I’d rather die alone than lying In a stranger’s calm If this love is fatal Let it be the final cut Like Romeo and Juliet Or we don’t wake up If I can’t be with you When the sky falls down Then I’ll meet the dark On my own side of town [Verse 2: Male] Mama keeps calling “Boy, come home right now” Says the church is wide open I just shake my head and bow I ain’t scared of the thunder Just scared of one truth If I can’t see your face What’s the point of making it through? [Verse 2: Female] Daddy’s in the kitchen Loading up the truck Says, “Baby, there’s a bunker Maybe we’ll get lucky as luck” But I signed my heart over For better or for worse If I can’t wear your last name Then I’ll carry my own curse [Pre-Chorus: Both] We made promises Under porch light rain Now the sky’s collapsing On our separate lanes Still I taste you In my coffee, in my bones But if I can’t walk beside you I’ll just walk alone [Chorus: Both] If the world is ending And it’s not you in my arms I’d rather die alone than lying In a stranger’s calm If this love is fatal Let it be the final cut Like Romeo and Juliet Or we don’t wake up If I can’t be with you When the sky falls down Then I’ll meet the dark On my own side of town [Bridge: Call & Response] [Male] I could race through fire (Female) But the road stays blocked [Male] I could break these doors (Female) And still find them locked [Male] Would you come if I called When the sirens cry? [Female] If I can’t be yours in the morning I won’t be yours when we die [Male] We’re a last-page story (Female) With the ink run dry [Male] Two burned-out wishes (Female) On the same gray sky [Both] If we can’t live together Then we’ll keep this vow I won’t hold you in the end If I can’t hold you now (oh now) [Chorus: Both] If the world is ending And it’s not you in my arms I’d rather die alone than lying In a stranger’s calm If this love is fatal Let it be the final cut Like Romeo and Juliet Or we don’t wake up If I can’t be with you When the sky falls down Then I’ll meet the dark On my own side of town [Outro: Both] Let the heavens open Let the daylight fold If I can’t die with you I’ll just die old On my own front porch In a silent home If it isn’t you beside me I would rather die alone

rap, Moody hybrid of trap drums, twangy slide guitar, and emo-pop melodies; alternating male/female vocals with call-and-response hooks. Verses lean rap-sung with bluesy phrasing, chorus explodes into big harmony stacks. Sub bass glues the groove, clean electric arpeggios and mournful fiddle swell in the bridge. Energy arcs from confessional low-key to cathartic singalong, then drops to a raw, almost a cappella final line., emo, pop, country, blues, world
