If We Could

[Verse 1] Screens glow on the subway floor Names blur But the data so clear Everyone scrolling for a backdoor To a day that never gets here Neon warnings on the billboard sky “Keep calm Carry on Comply” But your hand sneaks into mine Like a secret underline [Chorus] If we could Turn this rust into a garden If we could Find a pulse in all this carbon Would you run Would you run with me Through the sirens Through the flood If we could If we could [Verse 2] Drones hum over dead park grass Kids trade stickers for a better mask You draw windows on the concrete Say “Look That one opens east” There’s a crack in the tower glass Where the wild vines climb and clash You laugh quiet Say “It’s starting” Like the world forgot its casting [Chorus] If we could Turn this rust into a garden If we could Find a pulse in all this carbon Would you run Would you run with me Through the sirens Through the flood If we could If we could [Bridge] Maybe hope is just a rumor Passed in whispers down the line (shh) But your breath against my shoulder Feels like proof we’re still alive (oh) [Chorus] If we could Turn this rust into a garden If we could Find a pulse in all this carbon Would you run Would you run with me Through the sirens Through the flood If we could If we could [Outro] Stay here till the blackouts fade Trace a future on my skin In a world built on upgrade Let’s begin Let’s begin
