Hold onto the hum in your hands 2

Intro

Neon hum in your hands

Verse

City stops at the fifth street light.

You're running late but you look right.

Every taxi passes by three times.

I check my watch and I count mine.

Lace on your collarbone, shining gold.

Your voice is a signal that I've never heard before.

Café lights are bleeding over the sidewalk.

Nobody's leaving. Nobody's going home.

Sirens turn to bass beneath our feet.

You keep walking, slower than you need.

I match my pace to the sound of your collar clicking through the static hum

Pre-Chorus

Is this how it feels when your heart gets loose?

Every single body here is moving to a different time zone

Chorus

Hold onto the hum in your hands, don't let go.

Bodies bleeding together on the sidewalk glow.

Neon wires running underneath my skin tonight.

Hold onto the hum in your hands, feel it rise

Verse

You turn up the collar and you look back at me.

I'm counting shadows moving down on the ground.

We're a slow-motion fire burning out of control.

Your eyes flicker with something I've never seen before.

Subway doors unlock with a shudder in my chest.

Your palm brushes mine and the whole block goes quiet.

No one's leaving anymore, nobody's going home.

Just you, just me, caught inside this fading neon glow

Pre-Chorus

Is this how it feels when your heart gets loose?

Every single body here is moving to a different time zone

Chorus

Hold onto the hum in your hands, don't let go.

Bodies bleeding together on the sidewalk glow.

Neon wires running underneath my skin tonight.

Hold onto the hum in your hands, feel it rise

Bridge

Maybe we are the pulse and not just one heartbeat.

Maybe this is the city letting us go.

Not leaving the light behind. We're turning into the light.

We're turning into the night.

We're turning into the night

Chorus

Hold onto the hum in your hands, don't let go.

Bodies bleeding together on the sidewalk glow.

Neon wires running underneath my skin tonight.

Hold onto the hum in your hands, feel it rise
