[Intro — soft piano / distant synth] The city's fading... Neon in the rearview... Your hand in mine... Don't look back. [Verse 1] We watched the skyline disappear behind us Rain falling like the world was crying You said, "Where are we going?" I said, "Anywhere but here tonight" Streetlights passing like memories Your silhouette glowing next to me For once, I don't need to know the way As long as you're beside me when we escape [Pre-Chorus] Maybe tomorrow never comes Maybe the morning never finds us But I've got everything I need Right here in your eyes [Chorus — emotional] I'll stay with you Until the stars die Until the last light Falls from the sky If the whole world ends I'll hold you through the night We don't need forever Just one more lifetime I'll stay with you Until the stars die Even if the universe Forgets our names tonight [Backing vocals — airy falsetto] Ooh-ahh... Ooh-ahh... Until the stars die... [Verse 2] The city used to feel like everything Now it's just a ghost behind our headlights All those promises written in neon Couldn't mean a thing without you Maybe we were never meant to stay Maybe freedom always looked this way Two silhouettes beneath a dying moon Driving toward a sky that still belongs to you [Pre-Chorus] Maybe tomorrow never comes Maybe the morning never finds us But I've got everything I need Right here in your eyes [Chorus — bigger] I'll stay with you Until the stars die Until the last light Falls from the sky If the whole world ends I'll hold you through the night We don't need forever Just one more lifetime I'll stay with you Until the stars die Even if the universe Forgets our names tonight [Post-Chorus] Don't let go... Don't look back... The city's burning... But we're still here. [Bridge — stripped down] If I could stop the clock I'd freeze this moment now Your heartbeat against mine No sirens, no crowds No chrome No war No neon anymore Just you... Just me... Just us beneath the stars. [Build — increasingly powerful] And if the moon falls... I'll catch you. If the sky goes black... I'll find you. If every light disappears... I'll be your light. [Final Chorus — massive cinematic] I'll stay with you UNTIL THE STARS DIE! Until the last light Falls from the sky If the whole world ends I'll hold you through the night We don't need forever Just one more lifetime I'll stay with you UNTIL THE STARS DIE! Even when the universe Forgets our names tonight Let the city disappear Let the neon fade away As long as you're beside me I don't care what comes our way UNTIL THE STARS DIE! [Outro — soft / fading] The city's gone... The lights are fading... But you're still here. [Airy falsetto] Ooh-ahh... Ooh-ahh... Until the stars die... [Whisper] I'll find you.
