Hold It Close Tonight (Version 2)

Verse

City lights bleed into the dark outside my door

Someone's keys gone quiet on the floor

Last round at the bar and nobody's leaving

Radio humming static, low, slow, breathing

Bottle cap caught in my shirt collar loose tonight

Strangers turn to family when the lights go soft

Your shoulder leans where mine just left the space

Pre-Chorus

We keep our coats on even though it's hot inside

Nobody's ready for what morning will decide

Chorus

So hold it close tonight, hold it close tonight

Every light we're losing turns to gold in this light

Hold it close tonight, hold it close tonight

Stay right here until the whole room starts to fight

Bassline whispers something soft enough to keep

One more turn before the sun comes creeping up on me

Verse

Street vendor cart rolled out at half past three

Someone's laughing low where the bass still hums through me

Windows fogging up but we don't notice, we don't see

This is ours right now so let it bleed into us

Your hand finds mine again like a old familiar song

Floor keeps spinning slow like it never wants to stop moving on

Nobody's clock, nobody's name, just this and the glow

Pre-Chorus

We keep our coats on even though it's hot inside

Nobody's ready for what morning will decide

Chorus

So hold it close tonight, hold it close tonight

Every light we're losing turns to gold in this light

Hold it close tonight, hold it close tonight

Stay right here until the whole room starts to fight

Bassline whispers something soft enough to keep

One more turn before the sun comes creeping up on me

Bridge

Let it fade slow into sunrise

Let the last note catch the first light

Nobody's leaving till it's done

Till the whole sky turns and the song is won

Chorus

So hold it close tonight, hold it close tonight

Every light we're losing turns to gold in this light

Hold it close tonight, hold it close tonight

Stay right here until the whole room starts to fight

Bassline whispers something soft enough to keep

One more turn before the sun comes creeping up on me
