Lights Don't Ask Permission

Verse

Traffic lights forget the sequence tonight

Red turns green and then it's gold, no reason why

Bass drops low while horns still hum a mile away

Your hand finds mine through a crowd of faces untroubled

Nobody checks a clock in this one hour that's given

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the beat forget what time it is?

Doors stay open till the bassline says us

Chorus

Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for

Turn to gold then turn to blue and then some more

We move before we know why, we move like the floor gives in

Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for

Verse 2

Taxi roofs blinking red and silver on the lane

Someone's speaker skipping but the crowd still sustains

Sweat gone cool then warm again right quick

Nobody's leaving till the DJ's next trick

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the beat forget what time it is?

Doors stay open till the bassline says us

Chorus

Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for

Turn to gold then turn to blue and then some more

We move before we know why, we move like the floor gives in

Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for

Bridge

If tomorrow brings a different kind of hour

Tonight was never about an hour

It's just this room and all the gold it throws at us

Nothing says when but everything says now

Chorus

Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for

Turn to gold then turn to blue and then some more

We move before we know why, we move like the floor gives in

Lights don't ask permission, lights just do what they're for
