Shutters come up slow

Verse

Dust on the floor where your feet made a trace

Strangers' hands in a circle hold space

The light that was falling through the blinds is still there

But it's not coming through the shutters anymore

You move closer, closer to the frame

I can see you from here but I still don't know your name

The room holds its breath for one last round of sound

Before the sun cuts us down on the floor

Pre-Chorus

Keep it going a little longer, just till we have to stop

Let's ride this feeling right out the top

Is that what you're waiting for? Is that all you need?

One more hit before we finally leave

Chorus

Turn up the bass and let the shadows roll back in again

We don't stop yet, not till the light comes creeping through the blinds

Keep it going a little longer, just till we have to stop

Turn up the bass and let the night take us right where we've been

Shutters come up slow

Slow on down

Slow on down

Verse

Bass in my chest like it's still running wild and free

Your hand finds mine through the smoke of what used to be

We don't talk about what comes next, not yet or ever

Just keep this feeling spinning right over the hour

Every light that was burning out is burning bright again

The crowd holds its breath for one last kick of the drum machine

I lose myself in your eyes and I'm glad to go down like this

Pre-Chorus

Keep it going a little longer, just till we have to stop

Let's ride this feeling right out the top

Is that what you're waiting for? Is that all you need?

One more hit before we finally leave

Chorus

Turn up the bass and let the shadows roll back in again

We don't stop yet, not till the light comes creeping through the blinds

Keep it going a little longer, just till we have to stop

Turn up the bass and let the night take us right where we've been

Shutters come up slow

Slow on down

Slow on down

Bridge

No clock ticking loud, no dawn at our door

Just this one last hour and nothing more

Every moment left before the sun comes up is gold

Let's make it count, let's never let it go

So keep your hand in mine and I'll do the same

We'll ride this light right out into the day

Chorus

Turn up the bass and let the shadows roll back in again

We don't stop yet, not till the light comes creeping through the blinds

Keep it going a little longer, just till we have to stop

Turn up the bass and let the night take us right where we've been

Shutters come up slow

Slow on down

Slow on down

Outro

Shutters come up slow

Hold on a minute

Just one more song

One more kick before the light comes in
