I’m going to tell you a story ‘bout a man and his wife
Separated by light years due to galactic strife
You must fight the resistance they told him one day
And she cried as she watched the transport fly away

They trained him to fight but he could not shoot well
So they made him a guard down in the prison cells
She stayed in his heart, he stayed on her mind
And she waited and waited back on Hosnian Prime

Say you’ll come back to me, XB-813
I’ll come back to you and we’ll see this through
Don’t let them see the tears running down your face
I’ll send you my love from the Starkiller Base

Soon came the day when the base had their test run
They drained all the power from the nearest sun
The target was chosen, the beam true and straight
The lovers left longing, not knowing their fate

She was walking along through the city square
To send a message to him wishing that she was there
What the hell is that? She heard someone cry
She only had one last thought as red filled the sky

Say you’ll come back to me, XB-813
I’ll come back to you and we’ll see this through
Don’t let them see the tears running down your face
I’ll send you my love from the Starkiller Base

The news traveled fast, his homeworld was gone
And he wondered how he could ever live on
He was rendered defenseless from the pain in his heart
He wished for her touch as the base ripped apart

And that is the story ‘bout a man and his wife
Separated by light years due to galactic strife
You must fight the resistance they told him that day
But there is no fight left after love’s ripped away

Say you’ll come back to me, XB-813
I’ll come back to you and we’ll see this through
Don’t let them see the tears running down your face
I’ll send you my love from the Starkiller Base
