Tethered to Gold (Version 2)

Verse

Amber sunset casting across the room

Bare feet on polished tile, we both know it's true

Every step you take pulls me closer still

This floor remembers every kiss we steal

The clock ticks slow and I don't want to leave

I'll dance with shadows if you're dancing with me

Palm against palm where the light turns gold

We hold this moment like a promise that won't fold

Your breath on my neck, bassline in the air

Every second feels too short for what we share

Pre-Chorus

Is it just the night or is it something more?

Can I keep you dancing right here on the floor?

Chorus

Tethered to gold, our bodies don't break

Moving as one till the sun starts to make

Every heartbeat pulls me to your skin

We're writing this song where the shadows begin

Tethered to gold, we won't let it go

Hold me close and watch the city glow

Verse

Copper light on your collarbone

Streetlamp humming like a melody unknown

Fingers interlaced in time with the night

Your eyes keep talking when the words run out of sight

I don't need tomorrow when we've got tonight

This floor remembers every step we take without a fight

Pre-Chorus

Is it just the night or is it something more?

Can I keep you dancing right here on the floor?

Chorus

Tethered to gold, our bodies don't break

Moving as one till the sun starts to make

Every heartbeat pulls me to your skin

We're writing this song where the shadows begin

Tethered to gold, we won't let it go

Hold me close and watch the city glow

Bridge

Not just a memory, not just a light

This is us, right here, in all our might

No clock can measure what's happening now

I'm holding onto this feeling somehow

Chorus

Tethered to gold, our bodies don't break

Moving as one till the sun starts to make

Every heartbeat pulls me to your skin

We're writing this song where the shadows begin

Tethered to gold, we won't let it go

Hold me close and watch the city glow

Outro

Gold turns amber as the sky gives in

Keep moving, keep holding on until
