STAY WITH ME AFTER THE SHUTDOWN

CUSTOM

[Verse 1] Screens fade to black You’re still lit in my mind Cables all asleep But your hand’s finding mine Exit signs hum In this fluorescent dusk Everyone’s gone We’re the last little buzz [Chorus] Stay with me after the shutdown When every status light goes dark When the logins all time out But you’re still burning in my heart Stay with me after the shutdown When the whole world signs off If the system has to let us go I don’t I won’t log off [Verse 2] Clock on the wall Blinks out Skips a beat Your name on my tongue Like a line I repeat We talk in low code One glance That’s enough In this quiet crash We keep backing us up [Chorus] Stay with me after the shutdown When every status light goes dark When the logins all time out But you’re still burning in my heart Stay with me after the shutdown When the whole world signs off If the system has to let us go I don’t I won’t log off [Bridge] If the networks fall And our messages freeze Will you still reach out Reach out for me? (hey) If the password’s lost And the past can’t load Will you stand here Right here Close? [Chorus] Stay with me after the shutdown When every status light goes dark When the logins all time out But you’re still burning in my heart Stay with me after the shutdown When the whole world signs off If the system has to let us go I don’t I won’t log off
