Hold the Hour (Version 2)

Intro

Clock hand leans on the window frame

Shadow slows where your palm has stayed

Verse

Breath fogs the glass, a small grey cloud

Your thumb traces the fading hour

Sheets still warm where the light hasn't found

Dust hangs still in the last dark hour

Pre-Chorus

We slow the second, we still the air

We keep the dark a little while there

We breathe together, low and slow

We hold the hour before it goes

Chorus

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

Verse

Candle wax pools on the sill like time

Your heartbeat ticks where the clock falls quiet

Fingers laced where the hands align

Neither one of us starts the riot

Pre-Chorus

We slow the second, we still the air

We keep the dark a little while there

We breathe together, low and slow

We hold the hour before it goes

Chorus

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

Bridge

Light creeps in but we don't unclasp

Palm to palm till the moment's past

Clock hand shivers, refuses to move

We are the reason it's slow to prove

Chorus

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

We hold the hour

Outro

Hour hand rests where your hand has been

Still holding on, holding on, holding on
