Meridian Line (Version 2)

Verse

Concrete floor keeps the same low hum

Smoke curls up where my shoulder leans

Stranger's hand finds mine on the beat

Nobody's leaving till sunrise bleeds

Four a.m. window turning gray

Same four bars spinning every hour

Bass climbs higher through the empty hall

Clocks all stop when this night's in power

Pre-Chorus

Who decides when we turn around

Who calls it over, who keeps it down

Chorus

The beat won't let us leave this floor tonight

Meridian line where the low end bites

Hands up high till the lights come on

We don't ask how long before dawn

Verse

Neon bleeds through the parking lot haze

Same four counts we follow, no escape

Stranger's hips lock close to mine now

Nobody's counting what we give tonight

Speaker stack rattling the window pane

Sky turns silver where the black was drawn

Bassline swallows every second whole

We're not leaving till the room goes gold

Pre-Chorus

Who decides when we turn around

Who calls it over, who keeps it down

Chorus

The beat won't let us leave this floor tonight

Meridian line where the low end bites

Hands up high till the lights come on

We don't ask how long before dawn

Bridge

Doors open wide to the orange glare

Someone's shoes still scattered everywhere

Nobody's checking, nobody's done

The current's already won

Floor still shaking beneath our feet

Chorus kicks back in, repeat, repeat

Outro

Lights come up over the parking lot

We're still dancing on that same meridian line
