Skin Against First Light (Version 2)

Verse

Bass still humming under my ribs

Rooftop tar gone soft with heat

Your fingers drum on my collarbone

Counting down the dark's retreat

Dew sits cold along the rail

Dancers thin to just us two

Someone's speaker skips a beat

Sky turns from ink to blue

Pre-Chorus

We hold the floor a little longer

We let the bassline keep us under

Hands still moving, breath still slow

Nothing's ready to let go

Chorus

Skin against first light

Skin against first light

Warmth arrives before the sound

Skin against first light

Verse

Ash of last night on my tongue

Neon dims where the sun begins

Your shoulder blade a warm plane

Light lands soft, gets under skin

Speakers cool, the crowd's gone home

Sweat turns silver on your spine

One more chord the DJ holds

Stretching out the borrowed time

Pre-Chorus

We hold the floor a little longer

We let the bassline keep us under

Hands still moving, breath still slow

Nothing's ready to let go

Chorus

Skin against first light

Skin against first light

Warmth arrives before the sound

Skin against first light

Bridge

Gold crawls up along your jaw

Steals the shadow off your skin

I feel it land before I see

The dark let something in

Chorus

Skin against first light

Skin against first light

Warmth arrives before the sound

Skin against first light
