We Keep This Room Lit (Version 2)

Verse

Your jacket's still slung on the chair

Coffee cup cold but I'm holding it anyway

The clock said midnight but I forgot to check it

We built a fire that the thermostat can't pay for

Streetlights blinking like they're calling your name

You kept singing soft when you thought no one was listening

Four a.m. and we're the only ones still dancing

Radio static on, your voice cutting through it

Pre-Chorus

So what if tomorrow morning comes too fast

I'm not ready to give this up just yet

Hold my hand through whatever's next

Cause right now I feel like we've got forever in our chests

Chorus

We keep this room lit, even when the lights go low

We keep this room lit, one more slow before it goes

Nobody's leaving till the last song plays

So we keep this room lit, we keep it lit, we stay

Verse 2

Your feet still bare on the hardwood floor

I'm tracing your spine like I never did before

Half a glass left but we don't need it full

Just you and me against whatever comes at all

Snowflakes falling soft past the windowpane

World outside moving fast, we're running slow again

Nobody's clock here, just your heartbeat time

I'd trade every sunrise for this right now, mine

Pre-Chorus

So what if tomorrow morning comes too fast

I'm not ready to give this up just yet

Hold my hand through whatever's next

Cause right now I feel like we've got forever in our chests

Chorus

We keep this room lit, even when the lights go low

We keep this room lit, one more slow before it goes

Nobody's leaving till the last song plays

So we keep this room lit, we keep it lit, we stay

Bridge

Maybe the morning'll be brighter than I think

Maybe tomorrow brings a whole new kind of light

But right now I'm holding onto tonight like it's mine to keep

So let's freeze this frame before the sun gets here

Chorus

We keep this room lit, even when the lights go low

We keep this room lit, one more slow before it goes

Nobody's leaving till the last song plays

So we keep this room lit, we keep it lit, we stay
