Where the Lights Never Sleep (version 2)

Verse

Four a.m. and the speakers hum low

Smoke in my lungs, taste the afterglow

Concrete's still shaking under my feet

Someone's mascara melting like heat

Strangers collapse into diamond light

Holding on tight to the end of the night

Pre-Chorus

So when do we land

When does this stop

Every heartbeat says

Don't let it drop

Chorus

Where the lights never sleep

We're wide awake, wide awake

Chasing gold through the grey

Where the lights never sleep

Hands up high, we won't break

Riding out into day

Verse

Jacket's gone but I don't feel the cold

Painted skyline turning pink and gold

Taxis line up like ghosts on the street

Bassline echoes in my chest, in my feet

Someone's laughing at the break of the dawn

We were never meant to fade, just move on

Pre-Chorus

So when do we land

When does this stop

Every heartbeat says

Don't let it drop

Chorus

Where the lights never sleep

We're wide awake, wide awake

Chasing gold through the grey

Where the lights never sleep

Hands up high, we won't break

Riding out into day

Bridge

Somewhere behind us the music still plays

Somewhere in front of us, morning delays

I don't need sleep, I just need this to stay

Frozen right here till the night turns to day

Chorus

Where the lights never sleep

We're wide awake, wide awake

Chasing gold through the grey

Where the lights never sleep

Hands up high, we won't break

Riding out into day
