If I go before you, if the fire burns out
If the speaker dies before the listener, and if their passion fades away.
If the shadows envelope this house

Our souls take a slow dance, but in reverse
Imagining their souls engaging in a slow dance, but in a backward or fading manner.
I carved with my hands, a sepulcher

Maybe we'll burn in the middle
Contemplating the possibility of both partners facing hardship together.
Stay with me a little bit longer
Expressing a desire for the partner to stay with them a little longer.
If I ever loved you
If the speaker truly loved the listener.
I'd spend all my days memorizing the lines in your face
The speaker would spend all their time committing the details of the listener's face to memory.
And I promise to keep you, and the life that we've made

This love eternally resonates
Expressing the enduring nature of their love.
I let it bury me in the same way you remember

Paradise is weaved into your hands
Paradise is intricately connected to the listener's hands, implying a sense of beauty and perfection.
There's room for me when I can't stand on my own

Amber eyes will guide me home
Referring to the listener's eyes as a guiding force leading the speaker home.
You painted our last sunset in sepia

Composed of our hopes and dreams
The last sunset is a composition of the couple's aspirations and dreams.
Flowing through my stream of consciousness and this disease

If I go before you, if the fire burns out
