Before the Light Turns Green (έκδοση 2)

Intro

Mm, hold on

Mm, not yet

Verse 1 – him

The stage door clicks behind us at a quarter after one

You're swimming in my jacket and the rain is nearly done

Verse 1 – her

We walk the shining pavement past the shutters and the vans

Forty years of streets like this, and still you find my hand

Pre-Chorus – together

The corner light turns red now

And holds its breath for two

Don't tell me where we're going

Just let me stand with you

Chorus

Before the light turns green

Hold my hand a little longer

We've got nowhere else to be

Before the light turns green

Verse 2 – her

By morning it's the café where the floorboards creak and sway

The same old busker by the door plays the song we used to play

Verse 2 – him

You steal the foam right off my cup the way you always do

And the sun comes up behind you like it's rising just for you

Pre-Chorus – together

The corner light turns red now

And holds its breath for two

Don't tell me where we're going

Just let me stand with you

Chorus

Before the light turns green

Hold my hand a little longer

We've got nowhere else to be

Before the light turns green

Bridge – him

We don't burn like fireworks now

Bridge – her

We glow like streetlamps turned down low

Bridge – him

Quiet, steady, all night long

Bridge – her

Still here when the crowd goes home

Bridge – together

Let it change, I'll take my time

Every crossing, yours and mine

Final Chorus

Before the light turns green

Hold my hand a little longer

We've got nowhere else to be

Before the light turns green

Outro – together

Hold my hand a little longer

Before the light turns green
