[Verse 1] It reached the edge Of everything we are A shadow in the doorway A hand across the scar We held our breath As the room went still The clock on the wall Could not hide the chill [Pre-Chorus] And every name Fell soft from my mouth Like ash in the rain Like smoke going out [Chorus] Death came this far Death came this far Right to the line Then it stopped in our hearts Death came this far Death came this far We stood in the dark And we did not fall apart [Verse 2] Your fingers found mine Cold, but they stayed The lamp on the table Made a small gold shade I saw the years In the lines on your skin Still you looked at me Like spring could begin [Pre-Chorus] And every fear That was built in the night Lost its sharp little teeth In the fire of your sight [Chorus] Death came this far Death came this far Right to the line Then it stopped in our hearts Death came this far Death came this far We stood in the dark And we did not fall apart [Bridge] If this is the road Then let it be slow Let the last cold wave Break and let go I heard you breathe Like a prayer in the storm And the edge of the edge Was still warm [Final Chorus] Death came this far Death came this far Right to the line Then it stopped in our hearts Death came this far Death came this far We stood in the dark And we did not fall apart Death came this far Death came this far But here in my hands You are still alive
