Skin and steel in the heat 2 (versión 2)

Verse

Salt on the pavement under our feet

Your hair caught amber in a low beam light

Copper necklace tracing where your collarbone meets skin

The smell of coal and charcoal hanging heavy in the air tonight

Your palm against mine, the same beat that we've been keeping

Fading into the crowd, nobody's moving fast enough to leave you behind

Pre-Chorus

Hold me close before the sun comes up again

Every window turning amber on a hundred different streets

Chorus

Lagos lights never dim their gold

Skin and steel where the shadows fold

Hands in the dark, hands in the light

Lagos nights burn long into morning

Verse

Candle smoke curling off the speaker stands

You turn up your collar against the city heat

Your eyes like a glass of cold pineapple water on a sidewalk full of steam

Every single face is moving to the same rhythm we can't explain

Bass drum kicking beneath my chest where you lean in tight

The whole street shaking slow, nobody's leaving tonight

Pre-Chorus

Hold me close before the sun comes up again

Every window turning amber on a hundred different streets

Chorus

Lagos lights never dim their gold

Skin and steel where the shadows fold

Hands in the dark, hands in the light

Lagos nights burn long into morning

Bridge

Not one single clock is ticking down tonight

Just your hand against mine and this endless sunset light

No destination, only the sound we're making as we move

Nothing else but this warm hour and everything I prove

Chorus

Lagos lights never dim their gold

Skin and steel where the shadows fold

Hands in the dark, hands in the light

Lagos nights burn long into morning
