Lyrics
[Intro — cinematic, building, Nakatomi Plaza tension]
[Orchestral swell, then guitar crashes in]
[Verse 1]
They say love shouldn't be this complicated
Bombs and blood and buildings detonated
But you walked through glass barefoot to find me
Yippee-ki-yay, you're always behind me
[Pre-Chorus]
Every Christmas we almost don't make it
Every sequel I swear we're gonna break it
[Chorus]
You're my die hard, die hard
Nakatomi burning but I'm not leaving
You're my die hard, die hard
barefoot on glass, still believing*
We don't do easy, we don't do sane
We do barefoot in the pouring rain
You're my die hard, die hard
Yippee-ki-yay until the end
[Verse 2]
Hans Gruber couldn't take you from me
Neither could the therapy or the family
They say we're codependent, probably true
But I'd walk through fire if fire was you
[Pre-Chorus]
Every rooftop is our reunion
Every duct tape is our communion
[Chorus]
You're my die hard, die hard
Nakatomi burning but I'm not leaving
You're my die hard, die hard
Barefoot on glass, still believing
We don't do easy, we don't do sane
We do barefoot in the pouring rain
You're my die hard, die hard
Yippee-ki-yay until the end
[Bridge — spoken, gravel, Bruce intensity]
Come out to the coast, we'll get together
Have a few laughs...
But I'm not laughing
I'm bleeding
And I'm still coming for you
[Final Chorus — all out, stadium, Christmas lights]
YOU'RE MY DIE HARD, DIE HARD
NAKATOMI BURNING BUT I'M NOT LEAVING
YOU'RE MY DIE HARD, DIE HARD
BAREFOOT ON GLASS, STILL BELIEVING
WE DON'T DO EASY, WE DON'T DO SANE
WE DO BAREFOOT IN THE POURING RAIN
YOU'RE MY DIE HARD, DIE HARD
YIPPEE-KI-YAY
YIPPEE-KI-YAY
UNTIL THE END
[Outro — "Ode to Joy" riff, distorted, fade]
[Explosion]
[Silence]
[Single bell: Christmas]
