Hold This Hour (versione 2)

Verse

Ice cube drowns slow in my glass

Condensation drips down my wrist

Strobe light blinks like a slowing pulse

Your palm stays warm on my hip

Ceiling fan turns lazy circles

Bass hums low through the wall

Blue creeps under the door frame

Dawn's knocking, but not yet, not at all

Pre-Chorus

We keep the clock hand from turning

We breathe in time with the strobe

We trade the sunrise for one more song

Chorus

I hold this hour

I hold this hour

My hand holds your hand, the clock holds still

I hold this hour

Verse

Sweat cools slow on your collarbone

Steam rises off the cup I left

Second hand sticks on the twelve

Your breath slows down next to my chest

Neon sign hums through the window

Casts a red glow on the floor

We move like the hour is honey

Thick and slow, we ask for more

Pre-Chorus

We keep the clock hand from turning

We breathe in time with the strobe

We trade the sunrise for one more song

Chorus

I hold this hour

I hold this hour

My hand holds your hand, the clock holds still

I hold this hour

Bridge

Streetlights flicker off, one by one outside

A bus door opens, closes without us

Your thumb slows on my palm like it's counting backward

I let the minute stretch till it forgets to move

Chorus

I hold this hour

I hold this hour

My hand holds your hand, the clock holds still

I hold this hour
