[Instrumental Intro — soaring electric guitar] [Verse 1] I remember standing underneath the stars and clouds Chasing every shadow that was calling my name We were young enough to think we'd live forever Never knew that time could change the game You came walking through the middle of the chaos With a fire in your eyes and a fearless heart You made a home where I had only walls And somehow showed me how to make a brand-new start [Pre-Chorus] And when the world gets heavy And the road gets hard to find I'll hold onto the memory Of you standing by my side [Chorus] Whoa-oh, don't let me go When the night comes crashing down Whoa-oh, I need you close When there's no one else around Through every scar, through every storm Through every battle we've been through I'll keep this fire burning bright As long as I'm alive for you [Verse 2] We've had days when the sky was falling We've had nights when the silence cut like glass But every time I thought the road was ending You were there to make me take another path I don't need some perfect kind of story I don't need a life without a tear Give me every broken piece of yesterday If you're the one who's standing with me here [Pre-Chorus] And when my hands are shaking And I'm losing track of time I'll hear your voice beside me And know that we'll be fine [Chorus] Whoa-oh, don't let me go When the night comes crashing down Whoa-oh, I need you close When there's no one else around Through every scar, through every storm Through every battle we've been through I'll keep this fire burning bright As long as I'm alive for you [Instrumental Break] [Bridge — stripped down, emotional vocal] If tomorrow takes us somewhere That we've never been before I'll walk beside you anyway Like I did a thousand times before And if the road gets darker And the stars refuse to shine I'll be your light in the darkness If you'll be that light in mine [Build-Up] Oh-oh-oh! We're still standing! Oh-oh-oh! We're still alive! Oh-oh-oh! Let the whole world hear us! We're not giving up tonight! [Guitar Solo — extended soaring rock solo] [Final Chorus — full band] Whoa-oh, don't let me go When the night comes crashing down Whoa-oh, I need you close When there's no one else around Through every scar, through every storm Through every battle we've been through I'll keep this fire burning bright As long as I'm alive for you Whoa-oh, we'll never know How many roads we've got to cross Whoa-oh, but hand in hand We'll never count the things we've lost Let the thunder shake the sky Let the whole damn world break through I'll keep this fire burning bright As long as I'm alive for you [Outro — vocals over fading guitar] Oh-oh-oh... I'll be there when the night comes down... Oh-oh-oh... I'll keep that fire burning... For you... For you...
