Verse 1
Cinderella clock strikes midnight air
Ribbon torn, the room's a haze
Spilled champagne on my bare feet there
One last dance before I walk away
Red exit sign is calling me out
Bare shoulders catch the strobe beam down
Pockets full of broken glass and what-if doubts
Pre-Chorus
Feel the sand running slow through my hands
Feel the whole room turn into one stand
Every stranger holds an open door
I'm not chasing sunrise anymore
Chorus
Sands run slow, let me count them down
Every heartbeat on this crowded ground
Nobody's racing now, nobody's gone
Sands run slow, I'm holding onto this light
Dancing in the amber of this final night
No clocks to chase when every second feels like gold
Verse 2
Pockets full of confetti, wrists hold a time that won't stop
Strangers catching sunlight on their fingers and skin so bright
Candle wax dripping low across your collarbone
One last breath before we walk the street alone
Neon's humming slow in my chest like a low bass hum
Every shadow holds an invitation to run free
I'm not leaving till every single spark is caught
Pre-Chorus
Feel the sand running slow through my hands
Feel the whole room turn into one stand
Every stranger holds an open door
I'm not chasing sunrise anymore
Chorus
Sands run slow, let me count them down
Every heartbeat on this crowded ground
Nobody's racing now, nobody's gone
Sands run slow, I'm holding onto this light
Dancing in the amber of this final night
No clocks to chase when every second feels like gold
Bridge
Not midnight yet, not even close
This is the longest hour I've ever known
Every stranger holds a single thread
I'm not leaving till we're all still together here instead
Chorus
Sands run slow, let me count them down
Every heartbeat on this crowded ground
Nobody's racing now, nobody's gone
Sands run slow, I'm holding onto this light
Dancing in the amber of this final night
No clocks to chase when every second feels like gold
