[Verse 1] Silver rain on the station glass Your red scarf caught in the closing door I ran through the last train's fading light With your name still warm in my mouth [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Don't let the silence decide" So I came back with a heart on fire [Chorus] We are the ones who won't turn away With every crack, we carry the day Hold my hand when the ground gives in We'll make a way, we'll begin again [Verse 2] The city map was folded wrong We took the road by the river wall You laughed and drew a crooked sun On the sleeve of my borrowed coat [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Don't let the silence decide" Now I hear your voice inside mine [Chorus] We are the ones who won't turn away With every crack, we carry the day Hold my hand when the ground gives in We'll make a way, we'll begin again [Instrumental Break: expressive solo erhu, gradually building into a long heavier electric-guitar passage] [Verse 3] At dawn we reached the harbor steps Salt on your lips, a tear on your cheek You gave me back the paper star I thought I'd lost beside the tracks [Pre-Chorus] No more waiting for a sign We choose the road, we choose the climb [Chorus] We are the ones who won't turn away With every crack, we carry the day Hold my hand when the ground gives in We'll make a way, we'll begin again [Instrumental Break: virtuosic solo guzheng, gradually building into a long heavier electric-guitar passage] [Bridge] If the morning takes its time If the old walls still remain I'll be right here, shoulder to shoulder Till the doors swing wide again [Chorus] We are the ones who won't turn away With every crack, we carry the day Hold my hand when the ground gives in We'll make a way, we'll begin again [Instrumental Break: soaring solo dizi flute, gradually building into a long heavier electric-guitar passage] [Final Instrumental: no vocals; extended explosive electric-guitar solo with aggressive strumming, powerful riffs, rapid runs, bends, feedback, and sustained notes; guitar dominates until the very end, finishing with one long huge distorted sustained chord]
