Verse 1
Palm trees shaking overhead in time
The crowd is three deep at the door, we're pushing in
Your shoulder pressed against mine, and I don't want this to end
Red sand between your toes like we owned it all again
Sparks on the mirror ball, neon bleeding through my lens
You laugh so hard you almost fall, and I catch you by surprise
This is how we learned to dance without a song playing in our heads
And every stranger's smile turns into a friend we've never met
So don't say it's too late yet, keep your hands up high
Cause the night is counting down for us like a countdown sign
We're running on the clock's last tick, burning out our light
But I wouldn't trade this moment for anything in sight
Pre-Chorus
Hold my hold, hold it tight
The sky turns orange and we take flight
Into the afterglow where stars collide with us tonight
Hold my hold, hold it tight
Nothing else is right, only you shine bright
So catch me if I'm falling apart at 3 A.M.
Catch me before my heart lands hard
Chorus
We're counting down the final hour
Dust on our feet and nothing to prove now
Hold my hand and hold it tight
Because when the clock stops running, we will not say goodbye tonight
We're counting down the final hour
Every second feels like an eternity of gold
So hold me close till the hands turn still in their place
Counting down, counting down, counting us right into place
Verse 2
Tide is pulling back to sea
We chase every wave and you are chasing me
The moon dips low behind a mountain made of light
And I swear this will be the only night we get it just right
A firework exploding in your eyes
I grab for your hand, and you don't ask why
You let me take us flying like there's no tomorrow left to live
Strangers around us are holding hands and praying for a sign
This is how I know that every star out here has come to line up just right
So hold on tight to what we're making in this hour
We can be the reason why the whole sky turns gold for 4 A.M.
And I'll never let go of you if it means we get one more day to live like this tonight
Pre-Chorus
Hold my hold, hold it tight
The clock is winding down and I want your eyes on mine
We're making memories with every passing minute in time
So catch me when the hands finally stop running around
And let's turn 3 A.M. into a second that never ends around
Catch me if I fall apart at the seams of this night
Chorus
We're counting down the final hour
Dust on our feet and nothing to prove now
Hold my hand and hold it tight
Because when the clock stops running, we will not say goodbye tonight
We're counting down the final hour
Every second feels like an eternity of gold
So hold me close till the hands turn still in their place
Counting down, counting down, counting us right into place
Bridge
No alarm is ringing this morning
The only thing we have left to lose is our fear of growing old together
So let's break free from every rule that says a sunset has a deadline
