Hold my light, hold mine till dawn

Verse

Shadows across the alley wall

Your jacket's pulled up over your collarbone

We don't need a neon sign to find our way

Just the hum of traffic and the sound of our feet on the pavement

You light a cigarette with the tip of your thumb

Every streetlamp casts an orange glow

I lean in close where the shadows don't go

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising?

Is this what they mean by morning light?

Chorus

Hold my hand, we're not alone tonight

The sun is slow to rise but I can see your face shining bright

We're a firework in the dark of town

I won't let go till the dawn breaks down

Verse 2

Bare feet on the cracked sidewalk floor

Your laughter echoes off the brick store

You're drawing me into this city light

With every step, it feels like we're taking flight

The neon signs are starting to hum

We move together under the pale blue sky

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising?

Is this what they mean by morning light?

Chorus

Hold my hand, we're not alone tonight

The sun is slow to rise but I can see your face shining bright

We're a firework in the dark of town

I won't let go till the dawn breaks down

Bridge

No need for sparklers or fireworks

Your smile is all the light that I require

Just keep on walking, keep on keeping time

And I'll be right here beside you, holding tight to yours and mine

Chorus

Hold my hand, we're not alone tonight

The sun is slow to rise but I can see your face shining bright

We're a firework in the dark of town

I won't let go till the dawn breaks down
