Mae Lyrics

Mae, I'm hoping that you'd stay by me

There's nothing left to say, except mae

Looking for a reason not to buy another gun

That was issued out to teenagers in World War I

Then I see you standing there, barely five foot two

And you got me thinking that my stars align with you

Shooting Russian .50 cal like it's going out of style

And I feel myself falling every time she smiles

I'm guessing that I'm just the same as all these other guys

Who are falling just as hard at her delighted eyes

And when the whistle blows, we'll charge on hand in hand

And if we're lucky, we'll survive past no man's land

And as the zeppelin bursts into flames, the sparks fall down

Mae, I start my everyday by, kneeling down to pray

That I get a shot with you

Mae, I'm hoping that you'd stay by me

There's nothing left to say, except Mae, may I

Never thought I'd be the one to buy the ancient rounds

For an ancient piece of steel found on ancient battlegrounds

And I never thought I'd be the kind of guy who'd wait

For a woman who's a stranger in a million ways

Never thought I'd say this but old world war two

Though a box office success in terms of lives and tombs

Now seems boring in comparison to the OG

Communicating via pigeons from their death machines

And when the sun goes down, we'll turn in for the night

I'll take the first watch so that you can sleep alright

And we can watch the flares shoot up and fall back to the ground

Mae, I start my everyday by, kneeling down to pray

That I get a shot with you

Mae, I'm hoping that you'd stay by me

There's nothing left to say, except Mae, may I

And in the morning if we're hit with mustard gas

And we're being overrun by their counterattack

Just know that I'll protect you till the day I get shot down

Mae, I start my everyday by, kneeling down to pray

That I get a shot with you

Mae, I'm hoping that you'd stay by me

There's nothing left to say, except Mae, may I

There's nothing left to say, except Mae, may I

There's nothing left to say, except Mae, may
