[Intro] I kept your number in my favourites list Behind shit days and careless nights Building my heart a tomb for one Drove my mind into dark asylum Two severely wounded parts Still ignite the shape of you in my light [Verse 1] You found me counting cracks above the bed Trying to make a map from every word unsaid You took the glass from my shaking hand And stayed until I learned to stand [Pre-Chorus] No perfect sky, no painless start You drew a flat-line rhythm through my heart [Chorus] If the whole world turns its back tonight I will be the door, I will be the light When the years come hard and the ground gives way I will choose your name to love again each day Let the old walls fall, let the silence cease You are not my dream, you are my peace [ṯVerse 2] We burn like flames, when you climb aboard me Missed the last train, then rode me without warning Your blue eyes called me, fancy angles played to floor me Made the empty hallway boards feel unimportant [Pre-Chorus] No perfect road, but safely stowed Just your hand in mine, hold on this is our time [Chorus] If the whole world turns its back tonight I will be the door, I will be the light When the years come hard and the ground gives way I will choose your name to love in every way Let the old walls fall, let the silence cease You are not a dream, you are my peace [Bridge] When my voice breaks, say it with me We are more than what the past could leave If my armour were to fail, pull me near I will slay the greatest beast, have no fear [Breakdown] Your name — my reason Your hands — my home Your heart — my compass I am not alone [Final Chorus] If the whole world turns its back tonight I will be the door, I will be the light When the years come hard and the ground gives way I will choose your name at the end of every day Let the old walls fall, let the silence cease You are not a dream, you are my peace You are my peace You are my peace [Outro] Keep my armour by the door For a thousand years we've won every war
