Hold the pulse, hold the night (versie 2)

Verse

Concrete soft where you leaned against my neck

Shadows danced on the walls like a flock of birds taking flight from an empty lake

The air was heavy with smoke and your perfume

I watched the clock tick slow behind the bars in the room

Your hand slipped into mine like water slipping down a drain

I didn't move it back, I just let you stay there, locked in that same frame

Every face in this place is gone but yours to me now

Even when the lights come on and we're not alone somehow

Pre-Chorus

Is this what losing means?

Losing control of who we are and finding something real instead?

Can I hold onto this and still know my way home?

Or am I running out of time to figure it all out tonight?

Chorus

Hold the pulse, hold the night

Let us drift till morning light

No clock on our fingers now

Only your voice in a room that's still somehow full

Verse

You said keep breathing, keep moving slow

Every second here is all we have to know

The bassline hums through my ribcage like a prayer

I want this feeling, I want it till the dawn arrives early and stares

Your eyes locked on mine across the crowd

No one else in the room but just us two

We don't need a name or a reason why we're here

Just the weight of your hand in my pocket tonight

Pre-Chorus

Is this what losing means?

Losing control of who we are and finding something real instead?

Can I hold onto this and still know my way home?

Or am I running out of time to figure it all out tonight?

Chorus

Hold the pulse, hold the night

Let us drift till morning light

No clock on our fingers now

Only your voice in a room that's still somehow full

Bridge

Maybe this isn't an end at all

Maybe this is just the start of falling

Into something true when everything else fails

And maybe tonight we find out who we are without names or labels

Chorus

Hold the pulse, hold the night

Let us drift till morning light

No clock on our fingers now

Only your voice in a room that's still somehow full
