Dust Before Dawn 5

Verse

Last night's glow still on your collarbone

Salt from the beach stuck like a gold bar alone

I'm counting the hours till the sun breaks through

Your hand still warm from the last time we drew

A map in the sand where our shadows collide

Every promise we made before sunrise died

Pre-Chorus

So tell me you'll stay a little longer tonight

Before the dust settles and the dark turns light

Say my name like it's forever, not just till dawn

Because the night air's full of the ghosts we've known

Chorus

Dust before dawn, I'm dancing on your back

Fingers tracing fire across an empty track

Dust before dawn, the whole sky's going red

We don't stop now 'cause we're already dead

Verse

Radio static turns to a song we both know

Your knees against mine where the pavement glows

Two shadows moving slow like the night itself owns us

Every breath is fire, every step's a throne

Pre-Chorus

So tell me you'll stay a little longer tonight

Before the dust settles and the dark turns light

Say my name like it's forever, not just till dawn

Because the night air's full of the ghosts we've known

Chorus

Dust before dawn, I'm dancing on your back

Fingers tracing fire across an empty track

Dust before dawn, the whole sky's going red

We don't stop now 'cause we're already dead

Bridge

Maybe forever's just one more song

Maybe dying young is the only way to live this long

So let's not blink or check our watches
