Let me paint the picture for you: Ellie and Joel have gone back to Tommy's, post TLOU. In the time inbetween rebuilding civilisation, Joel has taught Ellie to play the guitar and Ellie has written a song. This is the song Ellie has written.
lyrics
I heard you mumble in your sleep
Baby I hate these nightmares too
And I've never been outside
Because they built these goddamn city walls so high
So if you showed me the way
I'm sure the time we have would out weigh the past
I ripped these words from empty pages
All that's left is this bitter taste in my mouth
So these grey trails, dark skies are scattered with snow
And the lives of the innocent are left at home
With your 6 shot, my 6 string out on the road
We can call where ever we want home
Well I left Riley at the door maybe ill see her again
And my mother wrote me letters but even they had to end
If I could count on anyone it would be on you my friend
And we could walk the road most travelled once again
So if you showed me the way
I'm sure the time we have it would out weigh the past
And I stole these words from blank cassettes
In the back seat while we just let time pass
And at the end of it all when we're dead and gone
Be it from old age or Infection
I can jump in the deep and start to swim
Knowing you had my back all along
And we struggled with surviving for so long
But I know right here is my home
