Song lyrics
Love of mine some day you will die, 
But I'll be close behind. 
I'll follow you into the dark. 

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white; 
Just our hands clasped so tight, 
Waiting for the hint of a spark. 
If heaven and hell decide, 
That they both are satisfied, 
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:

If there's no one beside you, 
When your soul embarks; 
Then I'll follow you into the dark. 

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule, 
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black, 
And I held my tongue as she told me, 
"Son, fear is the heart of love." 
So I never went back. 

If heaven and hell decide, 
That they both are satisfied, 
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs: 

If there's no one beside you, 
When your soul embarks; 
Then I'll follow you into the dark. 

You and me have seen everything to see; 
From Bangkok to Calgary. 
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down; 
The time for sleep is now. 
It's nothing to cry about, 
'Cause we'll hold each other soon. 
In the blackest of rooms. 

If heaven and hell decide, 
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs: 

If there's no one beside you, 
When your soul embarks; 
Then I'll follow you into the dark. 
Then I'll follow you into the dark.

I just love this song. It's so good. It's a song that everyone can relate to I think. But at the same time, depending on how involved you've been b4, you can relate to it on much deeper levels. I think anyone who's romantic can relate. Those who have been in a love that didn't last, it hurts to hear, doesn't it? it's kinda what we hoped for while it lasted, but life gets in the way. lol in other words, I LOVE this song

This song is amazing. Anyone that thought that DCFC move to a major label would ruin them was very wrong. Plans gets an A+

When I first listened to the song, I fell in love with it and played it eight times a row. It's both sad and happy.

Nice song and I love how there's not many instruments in the background just a guitar going 'ping' I think. Well I think it works well. Meh.
