if the world forgets us

if the world forgets us I know the shape of your silence Like I know the shape of my hands The way you stare out of windows When you're making bigger plans I know the songs you never finish The dreams you never say out loud The tiny scars you're always hiding Beneath your confidence somehow And maybe that's what love is Learning someone's secret map Memorizing every broken road And never asking them to change the path If everything disappeared tomorrow If every light went out There's only one thing I'd still want around Chorus If the world forgets us Stay If the stars stop burning Stay If every city turns to shadows And every memory fades away Stay You are the only thing That ever felt like home And if the whole sky falls apart I'd rather not survive alone If the world forgets us Stay There's comfort in the way you laugh When the night gets in your head And how your fingers always find mine Without a single word being said Sometimes I wonder if you realize What you've become to me You're in every future version Of the life I want to see Not because I need saving Not because I'm incomplete But because every beautiful thing Feels brighter when you see it with me And if the years keep moving And everything must change Promise me your heart Will still remember my name Chorus If the world forgets us Stay If the stars stop burning Stay If every city turns to shadows And every memory fades away Stay You are the only thing That ever felt like home And if the whole sky falls apart I'd rather not survive alone If the world forgets us Stay Maybe one day We'll be photographs In boxes nobody opens Names nobody asks about Maybe time will erase us Like footprints in the sea But while we're here While we're breathing Stay beside me Please Stay beside me If the world forgets us Stay If the oceans swallow every coastline Stay If the moon disappears forever And darkness takes its place Stay Because love was never about forever It was always about choosing The same person Again and again Every day And if I lose everything Everything except you I'll still be the luckiest person I ever knew If the world forgets us Stay The city is sleeping The streetlights are fading Your heartbeat beside me The only sound remaining And for the first time I'm not afraid Because you're staying
