We Keep Each Other Here - A Gakkou-Gurashi! Love Song

Chariots, Chariots!

I've been wanting to branch out more into songs for other series that I love, and Gakkou-Gurashi! is one of them. Imo, it's really the only anime that is actually really good. If you don't know anything about it, just go watch the first episode without reading the description if you love plot twists, cuz the whole show is full of them.

I wanted to write a song with my favorite gal Miki and so I decided to write a love song with her and Kurumi as they're my otp of the show. Feel like they'd make more sense than Yuki x Miki imo.

new song every week

--LYRICS--

[Verse 1 – Kurumi]
Spin my shovel, pretend I’m brave
Smile like I'm not digging my grave
Been here so long, I can't recall
Laugh too hard so I don’t fall

I joke to keep everything alright
Like noise alone could scare the night
But even in the light of day
I’m still afraid you’ll fade away

[Verse 2 – Miki]
I came here late—she’s already gone
Everyone I loved has long passed on
Learned too fast the way they died
Now you're the one who's by my side

You always have that playful grin
This is all a game you’re sure to win
But when we're in bed and wide awake
I see the way your hands still shake

[Pre-Chorus - Together]
If the world keeps falling through
I don’t care as long as you—

[Chorus - Together]
Are still here, still breathing
Still believing we belong
In a world that stopped all meaning
We’re the proof it’s not all wrong

Let this school fill with laughter
Let the end still feel like the start
Love survives the ever-after
When it’s still within our hearts

[Verse 3 – Kurumi]
I don’t say it, but when you're close
That time with you means more than most
If the world ends, I want to know
You felt loved before you go

I fight harder when you’re near
Every step feels less like fear
If my heart is doomed to break
I know it’s you that makes it ache

[Verse 4 – Miki]
If I stand when I should break
If I wake up for tomorrow’s sake
It’s easier to face the end
When you're more than just my friend

If I tremble, if I stall
Promise you won’t let me fall
If we’re doomed, then let it be
Side by side, just you and me

[Bridge - Together]
If tomorrow’s barely promised
If tomorrow’s worse than now
Promise me you won’t disappear
Promise me you’ll still be here

[Chorus - Together]
We’re still here, still breathing
Against the odds, against the night
Even broken hearts keep beating
If they’re holding on real tight

If the world takes everything
And if we never wake from sleep
We at least lived for each other
That’s a promise we can keep

[Outro – Kurumi]
Still here… if only for tonight
Still alive in the dying light

[Outro - Miki]
Still together… your hand in mine
Still safe— still have some time
