Lacquered Skin

Verse

Neon cuts across the ceiling tile

Your sleeve slides down your collarbone

Lacquered skin where shadows roam

You keep the rhythm quiet while I try to talk

I'm getting lost within the way you walk

Pre-Chorus

Could I ask a question before we fall

Do we have enough time for it all

Chorus

Hold still long enough for me to see

This whole room full of light and gravity

Every breath that moves us closer, hold it there

Just a little longer, just right, stay here

Verse

The fog machine is kicking up its sighs

Your eyes keep moving past the velvet ties

You know where you're going, I'm still trying to find

My foot in time with what your pulse keeps handing me

I want this hour never ending or undone

Just a single frame that holds us right here

Pre-Chorus

Could I ask a question before we fall

Do we have enough time for it all

Chorus

Hold still long enough for me to see

This whole room full of light and gravity

Every breath that moves us closer, hold it there

Just a little longer, just right, stay here

Bridge

No need to know where this is going tonight

I only want the hour we make up as one

So don't look at your watch, keep looking at me

And let's just be the shape that we used to be

Chorus

Hold still long enough for me to see

This whole room full of light and gravity

Every breath that moves us closer, hold it there

Just a little longer, just right, stay here
