Shadows on my skin 2 (Version 2)

Verse

I trace the outline of your hand on my neck

Fingers burning like a lantern in the dark

Your pulse is still running through mine like a vein

Bass hums beneath us as we wait for the dawn

Cigarette smoke curls up to the ceiling tile

Bare feet pressed against the concrete floor

Windows steam up like our breath in thin air

Nothing left but this and the morning's slow rise

Pre-Chorus

Is it still here, is it still alive?

Amber in your eyes like a dying light

Do you feel it too, do you hear what I hear?

A rhythm that won't quit, only getting clearer

Chorus

Where are we going when the lights come on tonight?

Can this feeling stay even after the sound is gone?

Every shadow holds us where we want to be

Chasing sunbeams with your eyes turned up to me

Where are we going when the lights come on tonight?

Hands still locked, holding the last of the night's light

I don't know what comes next but I don't care

If we can keep this here and bring it with us everywhere

Verse

Someone turns the corner, starts a slow drum in the hallway

You press your forehead to mine like you're reading my mind

The room is empty except for us and smoke rising higher

Your hand finds its way back up where it started before

Bare feet on warm tile, no one's clock says we must move

Just this hum under our skin, just these eyes locked in the groove

I never want to leave but I know it can't last

Every second here feels like a gift that could turn into glass

Pre-Chorus

Is it still here, is it still alive?

Amber in your eyes like a dying light

Do you feel it too, do you hear what I hear?

A rhythm that won't quit, only getting clearer

Chorus

Where are we going when the lights come on tonight?

Can this feeling stay even after the sound is gone?

Every shadow holds us where we want to be

Chasing sunbeams with your eyes turned up to me

Where are we going when the lights come on tonight?

Hands still locked, holding the last of the night's light

I don't know what comes next but I don't care

If we can keep this here and bring it with us everywhere

Bridge

No clock ticks where our shoulders touch

Just a pulse that never stops moving through

Maybe we're not leaving at all

Maybe this is just the start of something new

Chorus

Where are we going when the lights come on tonight?

Can this feeling stay even after the sound is gone?

Every shadow holds us where we want to be

Chasing sunbeams with your eyes turned up to me

Where are we going when the lights come on tonight?

Hands still locked, holding the last of the night's light

I don't know what comes next but I don't care

If we can keep this here and bring it with us everywhere
