Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Climbing up
Through the window
Up to the rooftop (Up to the rooftop)
The seagulls swarm
On the rubble
All we could do was watch (All we could do was watch)
[Verse 2]
Hit like a sucker punch
That you knew would come
Tell me what I could have done
Holding me close at the ending
In a flashing light
It’s darkest after dawn
On megaton mile
[Verse 3]
No alarms or
Pale riders
No teary-eyed anchors (No teary-eyed anchors)
It took so long
For it all
To change with just a word (To change with just a word)
Abandoned cars on the freeway
A terra-cotta rush hour
You heard me calling out your name
[Verse 4]
Holding me close at the ending
In a flashing light
It’s darkest after dawn
On megaton mile
January came and went early
In a flashing light
It’s darkest after dawn
On megaton mile
[Verse 5]
You said it was beautiful
As much as it was terrifying
[Verse 6]
Holding me close at the ending
In a flashing light
It’s darkest after dawn
On megaton mile
January came and went early
In a flashing light
It’s darkest after dawn
On megaton mile
