Lights Come Up Slow (version 2) – Thabo & Nari

Verse

Concrete's warm where the streetlight bends

Smoke and sweat on my fingertips again

Taxi hum like a bassline low

Four a.m. and we're moving slow

Pre-Chorus

Can we stay in the in-between

Where the dark folds into the seams

Hold the night just a little more

Chorus

Lights come up slow

Gold on the rooftops, we let it go

Skin still humming from the floor below

Lights come up slow

Verse

Paper cups and a borrowed coat

Someone's laughing on a half-lit road

Birds start cutting through the bass

Shadows stretching, we hold our place

Pre-Chorus

Can we stay in the in-between

Where the dark folds into the seams

Hold the night just a little more

Chorus

Lights come up slow

Gold on the rooftops, we let it go

Skin still humming from the floor below

Lights come up slow

Bridge

Don't wanna blink, don't wanna break

This blue hour's mine to take

Every step gets softer now

Sun's a secret we let out

Chorus

Lights come up slow

Gold on the rooftops, we let it go

Skin still humming from the floor below

Lights come up slow
