Holding Fire (version 2)

Intro

Holding fire till the dawn breaks

Verse

Smoke curls up where your shoulder bends

Gold light leaks through the blackout blinds

Pre-Chorus

Can we stay in this skin a little longer?

Just one more heartbeat, nothing to borrow

Chorus

Holding fire till the lights come up

Hands still burning where our shadows cut

Holding fire, holding fire

One last dance before it's gone for good

Verse

Your ribs press mine through the thin white shirt

Heat stays soft when the night gets cold again

Pre-Chorus

Can we stay in this skin a little longer?

Just one more heartbeat, nothing to borrow

Chorus

Holding fire till the lights come up

Hands still burning where our shadows cut

Holding fire, holding fire

One last dance before it's gone for good

Bridge

Windows turn from black to amber

Nothing left but the way we tremble

Skin remembers what daylight forgets

We keep the spark while the room goes quiet

Chorus

Holding fire till the lights come up

Hands still burning where our shadows cut

Holding fire, holding fire

One last dance before it's gone for good

Outro

Lights come up

Fire stays
