lyrics

When the day finally comes
When your shoes won’t line the doorway
And I won’t hold you nightly ‘fore I go to sleep
I know that there are things
That you can’t leave behind
And things that I know that I can’t keep

I swear to you, I vow to you,
To hold on to every piece that I can
I promise you, I’ll keep every artifact with my soul
So when we die, I’ll know how to find you again
We’ll rebuild our home into each other's hearts
But for now my sky has come crashing down again

Until death do us part,
I devote myself to this cause
To making sure that every version of me
Finds every version of you,
I know I will

But I swear to you, I vow to you,
To hold on to every piece that I can
I promise you, I’ll keep every artifact with my soul
So when we die, I’ll know how to find you again
We’ll rebuild our home into each other's hearts
But for now my sky has come crashing down again

How will you find me when this future diverts from our past?
So I’ll dissolve into this uneasiness,
But I’m sure we’ll find each other again.
