Acoustic Hymns Vol. 1

This Thing Called Life

Empty is the bedpost where you hang your coat
Stuck to the side table, you left a note
Sayin' it's over, you no longer can cope
With the selfish behavior, and that's all you wrote

But I'd crawl out of my skin if it meant I could be with you
Don't care if I'm left wandering through all I know is true
'Cause you're all I wanted, all I asked for, all that I could see
So tonight, just don't leave me, 'cause you'll leave me in two
All I could need is you, all I need is you

So, let this linger. Won't you stay?
Keep it out in the open to give you some space
I'm sick of this outcome, too tired to change
It's happy ever after for one more day

'Cause I'd crawl out of my skin if only to be with you
Don't care if I'm left wandering through all I think is true
'Cause you're all I wanted, all I asked for, all that I could be
So tonight, just don't leave me, 'cause you'll leave me in two
All I could need is you, all I need is you 

If you do go, you should know I'd do anything to keep you close
So just tell me, who I've gotta be, 'cause I'd change everything

Yeah, I'd crawl out of my skin if it meant I could just have you
Don't know if I'm left wandering through every different truth
And you're all I wanted, all I asked for, all that I could see
So tonight, you can't leave me, 'cause you'll leave me in two
All I could need is you, all I need is you

Not i

Ashes fallin’ from a bloodred sky
Your hand in mine, like we know we’ll die
The sirens howl, but I can’t look away
You smile like nothin’s gonna fade

Cracks in the glass of this dying town
But your lips light me up while it’s burnin’ down
No future left, no yesterday
Just one more breath, before we fade

(You said we had time...)
BUT TIME’S A LIAR!
(You swore we'd be fine...)
 IN THE MIDDLE OF FIRE!


LOVE ME LIKE THE WORLD IS ENDING!
Scream my name while the stars are fallin’
HOLD ME WHILE THE SKY IS BLEEDIN’
Kiss me hard like the night is callin’
No tomorrow, no pretendin’
LOVE ME... LOVE ME LIKE IT’S ENDIN’!

We danced on ruins and broken glass
Your perfume lingers like a ghost of the past
One last song on a vinyl spin
Let it play ‘til the silence wins

(You said we'd survive...)
BUT THE CLOCK’S RUN DRY!
(One more goodbye...)
 BEFORE WE FLY!

 LOVE ME LIKE THE WORLD IS ENDING!
Cry my name like your soul is tearin’
 HOLD ME WHILE THE SUN IS DYIN’
Touch me now like there’s nothin’ spare in
No forever, no defendin’
 LOVE ME... LOVE ME LIKE IT’S ENDIN’!

When the flames rise high, and shadows grow
Would you stay... or let me go?
(Answer: 🎤 I’D DIE TO LOVE YOU ONE LAST TIME!)

LOVE ME LIKE THE WORLD IS ENDING!
Tear this night with a kiss worth dying
HOLD ME WHILE THE MOON IS CRYIN’
Bleed your heart while the stars are flyin’
One last fire, no more mendin’
LOVE ME... LOVE ME LIKE IT’S ENDIN’!

 (LOVE ME, LOVE ME...)
 LIKE IT’S ENDIN’!
