Warmth We Don't Lose

Verse

Last train left the platform hours ago

Streets are quiet where the taxi ranks go

Someone's radio on a window sill

Singing low so it don't break the still

Dust from the courtyard hanging in air

Neighbors asleep, we're still out there

Streetlight flickers yellow and grey

Sky's turning something else anyway

Pre-Chorus

Hold this breath till morning light shows through

Keep the rhythm that's running me thin through

Something rising I don't need to name

Woke up with it the second time, same

Chorus

We keep the warmth we don't lose tonight

Moving slow on a borrowed light

Feet still know where the bassline lives

We keep the warmth we don't lose tonight

Verse

Taxi rank empty since half past nine

Sirens fade soft somewhere else in time

Someone's umbrella turned into a fan

Windows catching fire now, not dawn yet again

Porch light flickers on and off like it knows

Radio static turns to something low

We're the only ones moving through the grey

Waking up the city, one step at a time

Pre-Chorus

Hold this breath till morning light shows through

Keep the rhythm that's running me thin through

Something rising I don't need to name

Woke up with it the second time, same

Chorus

We keep the warmth we don't lose tonight

Moving slow on a borrowed light

Feet still know where the bassline lives

We keep the warmth we don't lose tonight

Bridge

No bus stops open now, no one's waiting

The night is still wearing yesterday's jacket

Bass drum in my ribs when every other sound

Fades to silence but it never lets go down

Chorus

We keep the warmth we don't lose tonight

Moving slow on a borrowed light

Feet still know where the bassline lives

We keep the warmth we don't lose tonight
