[Verse 1] He walked the border thin in a coat of quiet bones Saw her laughing in the rain like she owned the whole damn road She had bruised-blush cheeks and a pulse like borrowed gold He forgot the names he kept when she turned and let him know [Pre-Chorus] Now he lingers at the gate like a guard who lost his key Every hour that she breathes pulls him deeper underneath [Chorus] Death fell in love with life (fell in love) Death fell in love with life (oh, so much) He said, "Stay a little longer" but he wanted her forever Death fell in love with life (fell in love) [Verse 2] She would dance through broken doors with her collar full of dawn He would watch from far away where the last light gets withdrawn Every time she touched a scar it would bloom into a song And the cold inside his hands grew gentler when she came along [Pre-Chorus] Now he lingers at the gate like a guard who lost his key Every hour that she breathes pulls him deeper underneath [Chorus] Death fell in love with life (fell in love) Death fell in love with life (oh, so much) He said, "Stay a little longer" but he wanted her forever Death fell in love with life (fell in love) [Bridge] He knows the ending by heart still he prays for one more night Just to watch her spill like fire through the seams of all his quiet If love is just a wound then he wears hers like a crown And the more she shines beside him the more he can't step down [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Death fell in love with life (fell in love) Death fell in love with life (oh, so much) He said, "Stay a little longer" but he wanted her forever Death fell in love with life (fell in love)
