Hold the Colour (Version 2)

Verse

Smoke machine bleeds into the crowd

Your shoulder catches the strobe like a sound

I find you in the hundred bodies moving

Lost my name but I'm still choosing you

Fingers brush then fall back together

Same beat running under every breath

Floor's too loud to talk, so we don't try

Just your hand finding mine through the noise and sky

Pre-Chorus

Static on my skin where our palms just met

Can you feel it rising, static, set?

Closer now with every chord that breaks

Something honest waiting in these breaks

Chorus

Hold the colour before it fades

Don't let go when the bassline's made

Your hand in mine is the only truth

We're holding on to a feeling of you

Hold the colour, don't let it break

Stay right here till the silence wakes

Verse

Pulse in my throat keeps the time we keep

Two shadows moving to one slow beat

Red strobe flashes like a name we never had

Bodies sway and our hands stay glad

I don't know your face but I know your touch

Same four counts that the whole room clutch

Nobody's leaving when the DJ drops low

So we stay right here, where nobody knows

Pre-Chorus

Static on my skin where our palms just met

Can you feel it rising, static, set?

Closer now with every chord that breaks

Something honest waiting in these breaks

Chorus

Hold the colour before it fades

Don't let go when the bassline's made

Your hand in mine is the only truth

We're holding on to a feeling of you

Hold the colour, don't let it break

Stay right here till the silence wakes

Bridge

No names, no faces, just your hand

Just this beat that understands

Not a word has crossed your mouth

But my whole body's already caught

So hold me back from letting go

This is all I know and need to know

Chorus

Hold the colour before it fades

Don't let go when the bassline's made

Your hand in mine is the only truth

We're holding on to a feeling of you

Hold the colour, don't let it break

Stay right here till the silence wakes
