about

We’ve had conversations about death - what if one of us dies before the other? We have each other now, and that feels perpetual, but what would it mean if that changed? This song is about the driving force that makes love endure - despite the endings.

"If the threads of time decay
Unravel the nights and unravel the days
We will stay oh
We will stay til the end
Because I can’t stop loving you"

lyrics

V1
Even if you asked me to
I know I couldn’t - I couldn’t go through with it
Walk away again
Walk away in the end

If all the years and all our youth
Began to speak - to speak the truth well
They would say
They would say again

CH
I can’t stop loving you
No I can’t stop loving you
I can’t stop loving you
Oh whoa I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you)

V2
Even if we slip beneath
A final moment - the moment to breathe well
We will wait there
We will wait until then

And if the threads of time decay
Unravel the nights and unravel our days
We will stay oh
We will stay to the end
The end

CH
I can’t stop loving you
No I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you)
I can’t stop loving you
Oh whoa I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you)

REFRAIN
Oh I need to love you ooh
I need to love you whoa
I need to love you (3x)

V3
Even if we slip beneath
A final moment - the moment to breathe well
We will wait there
We will wait until then
The end

REFRAIN
I need to love you whoa oh
I need to love you
I need to love you (3x)

CH
I can’t stop loving you
No I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you)
I can’t stop loving you
Oh whoa I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you)
