Amber Glow Fading Fast (versie 2)

Verse 1

Sweat on the leather, smoke off the seat

Rust in the joints where the dashboard used to be

Fuel smell fading like a promise unkept

Engine still purring but my eyes are asleep

Sunrise creeping over the alleyway wall

Streetlights humming as they start to fall

Headlights casting shadows on the wet pavement gray

I'm running out of darkness before I can turn away

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on, let the amber glow stay

One more second till the daylight comes to play

Don't look up yet, keep your eyes on the floor

We're still flying through the hour we've been looking for

Chorus

Amber glow fading fast, we ride it out

Sweat and smoke in my hair, no need to doubt

Velvet darkness on our skin tonight

No sunrise gonna chase this away from me tonight

Amber glow fading fast, let it linger on

Keep your hands up high where the streetlight used to be

Verse 2

Pavement slick with dew and oil and last night's rain

Every crack in the sidewalk has a story to say

Tires screech as we turn off into the gray

Nobody's chasing us, but I don't wanna stay

Neon fading out like a dying ember

Headlights cutting through the smoke we left on the burner

Shadows shrinking as the daylight starts to creep

I won't let go of this yet, not while my heart still beats

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on, let the amber glow stay

One more second till the daylight comes to play

Don't look up yet, keep your eyes on the floor

We're still flying through the hour we've been looking for

Chorus

Amber glow fading fast, we ride it out

Sweat and smoke in my hair, no need to doubt

Velvet darkness on our skin tonight

No sunrise gonna chase this away from me tonight

Amber glow fading fast, let it linger on

Keep your hands up high where the streetlight used to be

Bridge

It's not over yet, just hold on tight

Hold on through the dark until the light comes right

We don't need a reason for the night

This is our own private end of the fight

Chorus

Amber glow fading fast, we ride it out

Sweat and smoke in my hair, no need to doubt

Velvet darkness on our skin tonight

No sunrise gonna chase this away from me tonight

Amber glow fading fast, let it linger on

Keep your hands up high where the streetlight used to be
