Sweat & Sunrise II (version 3)

Verse

Salt runs a river down the spine

Four hours gone, still on time

Heat leaves the floor through the soles of your feet

Windows turn grey where the black used to be

Shoulders still moving, slower now

Skin remembers even when you don't know how

Collarbone shining, wet with the night

Wait for the second when the dark turns light

Pre-Chorus

Let the heat go where it goes

Let the cold air find your throat

One more hour, one more turn

Watch the skin learn what it's earned

Chorus

Sweat and sunrise

Cooling on the skin

Sweat and sunrise

Let the light come in

Sweat and sunrise

Body holding on

Sweat and sunrise

Dance until it's dawn

Verse

Palms slide open, letting go

Bassline slows but the blood don't know

Chest still rising like it's chasing gold

Warm turns to cold and the cold turns whole

Neck tipped back to catch the beam

First light lands like it's part of the dream

Muscles loosen where the night was tight

Skin keeps count of the dark and the light

Pre-Chorus

Let the heat go where it goes

Let the cold air find your throat

One more hour, one more turn

Watch the skin learn what it's earned

Chorus

Sweat and sunrise

Cooling on the skin

Sweat and sunrise

Let the light come in

Sweat and sunrise

Body holding on

Sweat and sunrise

Dance until it's dawn

Bridge

Not the mind that keeps the time

It's the wet on your back turning cold, turning fine

Not the song, not the crowd, not the sound

It's the heat leaving slow while your feet stay down

Chorus

Sweat and sunrise

Cooling on the skin

Sweat and sunrise

Let the light come in

Sweat and sunrise

Body holding on

Sweat and sunrise

Dance until it's dawn
