[Verse 1]
We've been together since the last snow
And our love's been sweet as far as all loves go
But there's just one thing that I need to know
Would you love me if I was dead?

[Verse 2]
We stayed together when the floods took our home
Will you still love me in my tiny clothes?
But there's still one thing that I need to know
Would you love me if I was dead?

[Verse 3]
Oh, would you kiss my grave and kiss my face?
Would you miss your train because my ghost kept you away?
Would you hold my picture alone in your bed?
Would you love me if I was dead?

[Verse 4]
We held each other until the bombs exploded
We prayed together in the burned bricks and bone
But there's still one thing that I need to know
Would you love me if I was dead?

[Verse 5]
Oh, would you dig me up from under the ground?
Or just know that my body wasn't around?
Would you hold a prayer for wherever I tread?
Would you love me if I was dead?
[Verse 6]
Oh, would you dress me up in my favorite clothes?
Would you cross your fingers when my name was spoke?
Would you jump in a lake and land and swallow your breath?
Would you love me if I was dead?
