I'd rather die with you than live without you and I hope that you feel the same.

Mom and Dad and I were getting ready for the game I couldn't play tonight, you know, my leg's still kinda lame.

Then I heard my mother call out our savior's name. I looked to the east and the sky was filled with flames.

Then Dad said don't worry, we don't have to be scared, we've got our new fallout shelter waitin' for us there.

When I told Dad I'd go get you, he said don't you dare, there's no room for your girl, son, that just wouldn't be fair.

I'd rather die with you than live without you and I hope that you feel the same.

Then I thought of all the happy times that we had spent together and the way we pledged our love to each other forever.

Could I be there in that shelter with you out here rather than hold you in my arms? No, my darlin', never.

Old Uncle Ben, everybody's friend, sits in there with his gun. The streets are all deserted now, did you see those [bad word] 

You hold my hand, I understand the sickness has begun and if we live or if we die our hearts will beat as one.

I'd rather die with you than live without you and I hope that you feel the same.
