Hold That Beat Till Dawn (versione 2)

Verse

Last taxi line folded on the floor

Four a.m. and I need one more

Skyline breaking into orange red

Sipho's whistle cuts through the haze

Tell me stay because it's all that stays

Bass in my chest where the shadows sleep

Every door we came to was open wide

But this one's locked, so we keep inside

Thando's laughing like a bird set free

Nobody moves when they hear her speak so clear

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight because it won't last long

This whole city singing where we belong

Every heartbeat's the only clock

We stay right here till the lights come back

Chorus

Hold that beat till dawn arrives

Move until the gold comes through

Nobody's leaving, nobody's tired

Hold that beat till dawn arrives

Verse 2

Streetlights blur to silver and rose

Sipho pulls me into every glow

Somebody's speaker catches wind outside

Bassline crawls up through our skin tonight

Taxi lights fade to a distant hum

But the floor keeps spinning, nobody done

Thando spins slow with her eyes shut tight

I follow where she dances into light

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight because it won't last long

This whole city singing where we belong

Every heartbeat's the only clock

We stay right here till the lights come back

Chorus

Hold that beat till dawn arrives

Move until the gold comes through

Nobody's leaving, nobody's tired

Hold that beat till dawn arrives

Bridge

Sky turns silver, sky turns blue

We were born for this kind of moving too

Every step was a promise we made

To never leave till the whole street wakes up awake

Chorus

Hold that beat till dawn arrives

Move until the gold comes through

Nobody's leaving, nobody's tired

Hold that beat till dawn arrives
