Lace on Your Collarbone 2 (version 2)

Verse

I still remember the way your collarbone leaned in against mine

That whole room full of strangers and you made it feel like one line

Your laughter caught in my chest like a silver ring left on the floor

You said 'this is just the start' and I believed you for an hour

The speakers turned up loud and the lights kept flashing red

Every single person there was waiting for a shot of something they'd been fed

But every time your hand brushed mine across that crowded floor

I felt like we were already leaving, counting down till more

Pre-Chorus

You don't need to say it out loud when you look at me that way

Every song about leaving is just a song about staying

Chorus

So hold my collarbone up against yours tonight

Count every heartbeat in the fading light

We'll dance like we're already free

Dancing in the haze of goodbye

Verse

Your favorite record was playing on repeat through the speakers

You said 'I love this song' and I knew what you were really saying in your dreams

The strobe light turned your face a different color every few seconds

But I kept counting till I found a version that could keep up with yours

The crowd started moving slower like we were all in time

Every single person out there was ready to lose their mind

You grabbed my hand and pulled me closer into the noise

I knew right then that this was going to be an ending that felt like a choice

Pre-Chorus

You don't need to say it out loud when you look at me that way

Every song about leaving is just a song about staying

Chorus

So hold my collarbone up against yours tonight

Count every heartbeat in the fading light

We'll dance like we're already free

Dancing in the haze of goodbye

Bridge

Let it all burn down to nothing but this one frame

I want to lose myself in you just one more time

No clock ticking in the corner, no countdown on the wall

Just your eyes shining bright in the strobe light's final call

Chorus

So hold my collarbone up against yours tonight

Count every heartbeat in the fading light

We'll dance like we're already free

Dancing in the haze of goodbye
