[Verse 1] Sirens on the TV Neighbors counting cans Blue tape on the windows Maps spread on the floor Quiet in the hallway Phones light up like flares You’re joking in the doorway But your hands say you’re scared [Chorus] If this is World War Three Hold me in the kitchen light Let the dishes Let the headlines All collide tonight If this is World War Three Kiss me like the sky’s on fire If we’re standing at the end I just want to stand beside you [Verse 2] Scrolling past the slogans Thumbprint Empty feed Everybody’s certain Till it’s time to bleed Your passport in a shoebox My letters in a drawer We argue over nothing Just to feel we’re sure [Chorus] If this is World War Three Hold me in the kitchen light Let the dishes Let the headlines All collide tonight If this is World War Three Kiss me like the sky’s on fire If we’re standing at the end I just want to stand beside you [Bridge] Maybe they will never launch Maybe they already did Maybe all we ever had Was this borrowed bit of breath So count it out loud One Two Three (stay with me, stay with me) If the world goes dark I want your outline Burned into me [Chorus] If this is World War Three Hold me in the kitchen light Let the dishes Let the headlines All collide tonight If this is World War Three Kiss me like the sky’s on fire If we’re standing at the end I just want to stand beside you
