[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)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hit like a sucker punch
That you knew would come
Tell me what I could've done
[Chorus]
Hold me close at the ending
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
[Verse 2]
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)
[Pre-Chorus]
Abandoned cars on the freeway
A terracotta rush hour
You heard me calling out your name
[Chorus]
Hold 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
[Bridge]
You said it was beautiful
As much as it was terrifying
[Chorus]
Hold me close at the ending
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
Oh, January came and went early
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
