Demolition Lovers
My Chemical Romance Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets

I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the the things we put each other through and

I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running

But this time, I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold

Until the end, until this blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of

I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold

But this time, we'll show them
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every

All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this

All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this

All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this

All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this

As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
Know how much I want to show you you're the only one
Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun

And as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood
And as we're touching hands
And as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood
And as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes
And in this pool of blood

I'll meet your eyes
I mean this forever

Hand in mine, into your icy blues
I am holding your hand and looking into your cold blue eyes

And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
I suggest that we travel on the highway together

With this trunk of ammunition too
We have a trunk full of ammunition to use as we need

I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets
I want to spend the rest of my life with you and die in a shootout or a battle

I'm trying, I'm trying
I am making an effort to let you know something

To let you know just how much you mean to me
I want you to understand how important you are to me

And after all the the things we put each other through and
Despite all the difficulties we have gone through together

I would drive on to the end with you
I will stay with you until the very end

A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
We keep the car fueled by stopping at liquor stores sometimes

And I feel like there's nothing left to do
I have nothing else to do

But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running
I want to demonstrate my commitment to us and keep the relationship going

But this time, I mean it
I am being serious this time

As snow falls on desert sky
The setting is a desert at night when snow is falling unexpectedly

Until the end of everything
We will stay together forever, until the end of time itself

As days fade, and nights grow
Time passes, and the days and nights blur together

And we go cold
We gradually become less lively, less passionate

Until this blood
Until we die and our blood flows out of us

We are like bullets, fast and deadly

As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
As bullets rain down on us, they will pass through our ghosts, our souls

Forever, forever
For eternity

Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
We are like scarecrows that keep this burning passion and love alive

Know how much I want to show you you're the only one
I want to demonstrate to you that you are the only person for me

Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun
Like a bed of roses, there are many reasons why we will fight; there are many bullets in this gun

And as we're falling down
As we fall to the ground, dying

And in this pool of blood
Surrounded by our blood

I'll see your eyes
I will look into your eyes

I'll meet your eyes
Our eyes will meet

I mean this forever
This is my forever promise to you
